Fact is awful parents are here to stay. They don't have the time or the money or the will to take their kids to the doctor. Now are you going to ignore it and condemn it while letting two generations of Americans get thrown into poverty, or are you going to try to do something about it? No one's forcing the kids to get birth control. Personally I think this is actually in the school's interest because I will be damned if pregnant / expectant / parent children are going to make it academically. I went to a public school like that, middle and high, and the fact is, this already happens.
