No I will not blame the school system but I will lay the blame where it belongs at the feet of parents and the girls themselves.

Don't get me wrong, I 100% place the blame on the girls and parents, but the nurse and principal were the knowing adults in this situation and I want to know what they did with their knowledge.  I bet if the parents were informed earlier on, the #17 would have been much less.  And if the nurse or principal would have spoken to these girls like they were their own, the # would also have been much less.  And for all I know, they did speak to the girls and we're not looking at 20-something pregnancies bc of that.

I especially agree with everything SpicyChicken has said - and many others. 

We pay a LOT in property taxes every year and over two thirds of those taxes are for the schools.  I cannot state strongly enough how much I object to my money going to pay for these girls and their offspring.  I strongly object to schools supplying birth control and pregnancy tests.  Our schools are there to educate our children, not encourage them to have babies and then have us pay to take care of them.

Finally, I think it is outrageous that these underage, minor children have 'privacy rights'.  Parents have every right to know their children are having sex with birth control supplied by tax payers' money - and then the school supplying pregancy tests!  It's an outrage!  What the hell is next?  The schools supply birthing rooms for these 'mothers'.
