The New York Times, December 31, 1993:

[New York City schools chancellor Ramon C.] Cortines said that he was drafting a new condom policy to give parents a right to forbid their children to receive condoms [in school]... But he said he did not believe such a parental option "is the answer by itself."

"We have to couple that with a very strong parent education program," Mr. Cortines said. "Obviously we are not being very successful in educating students."
