Could be worse.  My school (Clark U.) has something called Spree Day every
spring.  Essentially, it is a Spring festival.  Our chapter used to sell
Spree Day survival kits on that day.  They had Water guns and other little
toys, alcahol awareness pamphlets, and condoms.  All the contents were
donated by different organizations.  Anyway, We usually got the condoms
from "Choices" Clark's Sexual awareness organization.  Well, after 2 years
of getting the condoms from them I went back the third year and was told
that they, being under new management, decided not to supply the condoms
any more.  I asked why, and was given the following answer (no joke)

We don't want to give out the condoms on campus like that, because it is
unfair to lesbians, because they don't use condoms.

Good Lord!  And, I thought they stopped giving out free lobotomies on campus.
