That's ridiculous and demeaning to women. Are they also going to test if the boys have fathered babies?
That's between the girl, her family, the father, and her doctors. Furthermore, this accomplishes nothing but informing the school that the girl is pregnant-- which is irrelevant. Government funded schools that kick girls out if they fail the test are refusing to provide a girl the education she has a right to get?
Should a Charter School Be Able to Require Students to Take a Pregnancy Test?

Not trying to start a fight, I just know Deep007 has a very sarcastic wit.
As far as what side of this issue I fall on, I say "No", these schools should not be able to do it, they could if they were private, but if I went to enroll my daughter in a private school that required a pregnancy test, I would be insulted, she would be embarrassed, and they would not get my money. I have put a lot of time and effort into properly raising my kids and making sure they have the right attitudes and I would be beyond irritated if some school decided to second guess me!
that could be a new word for me
They're literally dying out, slowly but surely.
Never mind.
Have a nice day.
Not to be all Captain Obvious, but you don't 'know' me... at all.
And you never have.
That being said, I simply see no point in going down that path.
Pointless, repetitive arguments that go nowhere aren't fun to me, Seadog.
As it gets closer and closer to "crazy time", I'm engaging in them less and less.
By the way, thanks so much for showing your true colors;
I'm not going to argue that it IS the school's job to "raise" children, but "raising" comes in all different forms. You send them there to learn academically and that is a part of raising. If you don't want the state involved at all in the forming of your child's beliefs and personality, then you must homeschool them. That also removes any danger of your child finding out about Walgreens.
