This is that seperate but equal BS that seams semi popular around these parts as of late.

The issue isn't weather a school is equipped to handle a pregnant girl, you don't need to be equipped for this, it's not like they are handicapped or in need of special treatment, they are pregnant. All around the world women work while pregnant this is no different. Bottom line is this PUBLICLY FUNDED school is denying education to students based on their sex, that is illegal. If there are alternative schools then great, but the choice should be the student's and parent's, not the schools.

I'm a bit befuddled, where do you get the information that the girls are not getting an education or are getting an inferior education, why don't we start with basic facts before we start getting to dramatic here

Thx for reading the article guys.....



If a student is determined to be pregnant and wishes to continue to attend Delhi Charter School, the student will be required to pursue a course of home study that will be provided by the school…Any student who is suspected of being pregnant and who refuses to submit to a pregnancy test shall be treated as a pregnant student and will be offered home study opportunities. If home study opportunities are not acceptable, the student will be counseled to seek other educational opportunities.
:heh: funny I didn't read anything about kicking them out of school or ending their pursuit of knowledge. Damn, that sounds like torture to force a pregnant female to work at her own pace instead of being in a constant academic engaged environment, how could they do that, what horrible administrators these b*stards are......

I'm also 110% sure that other education opportunities, means alternative schools, you know the type for people with children to take care of what not. I may be wrong though, but I doubt it......

Aside from its unconstitutional premise, the charter school’s policy toward pregnant students is also furthering a serious education gap between teen mothers and the young women who do not have unplanned pregnancies. Thirty percent of all teen girls who drop out of high school cite pregnancy as the main reason. And a full 70 percent of teenage girls who give birth end up leaving school — although if New Delhi Charter School had its way, that statistic might be closer to 100 percent.

:whistle:

I wonder how that would work. Transfer all the pregnant girls to 1 school in the district or give them opportunity to seek other education. Imagine knowing that you have to go to the preggo school if you are preggo? a school full of pregnant women.


Just think about it. It doesn't seem that bad. You want have to see ole preggo Janay in the hallway anymore but she is getting her education at another school. In a way it kind of makes teenage pregnancy looked down upon which it should be and not accepted. Pure genius. :ohhh:
