Re: School policy forces students to take pregnancy tests, bans pregnant teens
not really. they get the same education, just 9 mos later.
Kids dont make decisions that cause cancer. Big difference.
if you want to discuss it with me can we try to refrain from sarcastically putting words in my mouth. if you just want to talk about it with like minded people you and whoever else can just IM each other and stroke each others ego's or whatever you want to do. however if you want to discuss this like grown up who have a difference of opinion we can continue.
getting pregnant is. and if a boy were somehow pregnant i am sure the school would take similar action. As I explained before the boy would not have the physical illness associated with pregnancy nor the same dr appointments neccasarily. It is a fairly safe to assume a pregnant female will miss school, and a good amount of school with being sick, dr appts, delivery, recovery and more. Couple that with learning how to raise a child and taking care of herself and her baby she is not going to be focused too much on her school work. She is not going to perform at the level the school may require.
you are once again twisting something i said into some wierd delusion you seem to have. I have never once even slighly indicated that the school is in any way endorsing sex. That is just ignorance and that type of debating isnt going to get you anywhere.
how is that even remotely close to anything i said? did you accidently quote me here and reply to someone else?
Delay is still a sort of reduction.

Kids that get cancer would be missing a lot of schools as well. If the justification is "they'll probably miss a lot of school" why would it not apply there as well?

Great, we should ban cancer patients from attending school as well until they're in full remission.

And in this case it is.
A girl and a boy caused a pregnancy.
The girl is being searched out and punished.
There's no search or action towards the boy what so ever.
Being female is not a choice.

Since we seem to be functioning off the notion that the school is trying to promote negative consequences for an action they deem bad...
So sex that causes pregnancy....that's fine. But actually BEING pregnant...THAT needs to be punished.
**** all you want kids, especially you boys, because there's no consequences for you. But you female, if you actually get pregnant, YOU'RE going to get punished. The guy that was just as instrumental in knocking you up....he doesn't have a baby in his belly so hey, high five kid, no problems for you!

So you think teenagers in high school that get pregnant are all getting it from over aged individuals? Is that what you're saying? So instead of unequally applying even handed punishment of this to two school aged kids, they're actually just punishing the girl for being technically raped under the law under your reasoning while still not caring to try and gain knowledge of who the guy is? That's BETTER?
