Stupid Is As Stupid Does
By Valerie Jane | June 20, 2008
While thinking about yesterdays story, something occurred to me. Then this morning USA Today had this:
A pact made by a group of teens to get pregnant and raise their babies together is at least partly behind a sudden spike in pregnancies at Gloucester High School, school officials said.
The rash of pregnancies has shaken the seaside city about 30 miles north of Boston. Last month, two officials at the high school health center resigned to protest the resistance from the local hospital to the confidential distribution of contraceptives. The hospital administers the state money that funds the clinic.
These are the first and last paragraph in the article. Anyone see the stupidity?
Do these idiotic school officials really think defying parental rearing and allowing contraception’s to be handed out like candy would have helped? These girls WANTED to be pregnant. And why in the HELL didn’t anyone look into this problem sooner? Here’s one of the paragraphs in the middle of the article:
Sullivan said students were coming to the school clinic multiple times to get pregnancy tests, and "seemed more upset when they weren’t pregnant than when they were."…Some of the girls reacted to the news they were pregnant with high fives and plans for baby showers, Sullivan said. One of the fathers "is a 24-year-old homeless guy," Sullivan told the magazine.
Hello? Is there anyone awake at the school system? I believe this clinic needs to be held accountable. Maybe the homeless guy wouldn’t be a father to be if someone in the clinic would have picked up the phone and called someone.
And here is another example of stupid:
He said the girls are generally "girls who lack self-esteem and have a lack of love in their life."
Ya think? Would these children feel loved if they weren’t treated like property? Getting parental permission on something like this involves parents in their children’s life. Trying to bypass thim removes them even further from their lives.
Let’s start letting parents raise their children. It worked for centuries. Society raising the children has failed miserably.
