School Forces Pregnancy Tests on Girls, Kicks out Students Who Refuse or are

In a Louisiana public school, female students who are suspected of being pregnant are told that they must take a pregnancy test. Under school policy, those who are pregnant or refuse to take the test are kicked out and forced to undergo home schooling.

Welcome to Delhi Charter School, in Delhi, Louisiana, a school of 600 students that does not believe its female students have a right to education free from discrimination. According to its Student Pregnancy Policy, the school has a right to not only force testing upon girls, but to send them to a physician of the school administration’s choice. A positive test result, or failure to take the test at all, means administrators can forbid a girl from taking classes and force her to pursue a course of home study if she wishes to continue her education with the school.

1. How awful! Since when does a school have the right to take a child for a test

without parental consent?

2. The school is in the United States.

Any fiefdom can ignore or make their own rules and laws.

3. disgusting.

I suppose they are just preparing women to live in the new theocracy. Prove you are or are not pregnant! I suppose they will be testing for the presence of birth control next.

4. So if they are pregnant are there any repercussions on the father as well?
