In reply to KanaW. If nothing else they may be learning to get out of 3rd World Louisiana.

In reply to muselet. Is our children learning? Obviously not in that place. . .

In reply to BenAu.

Most likely their PE teacher (if they still have PE, anyway) is supposed to notice if the girls aren’t taking time off for ‘monthlies’…
Who knows what they have in mind. Or if they have any minds to put thoughts into.

I can’t guarantee I’m right—I seem to remember reading this, but I’m too lazy to find out for sure—but I think Bobby Jindal’s voucher plan exempts non-public schools from just about all state regulations. It’s disappointing, but not entirely surprising, that a flack for the Louisiana Department of Education wouldn’t be clear on the point.

Still, one would think any school would make a point of being aware of federal laws and regulations like Title IX. Makes you wonder what else Delhi Charter School isn’t doing right, don’t it?

And I especially like Albert Christman’s mangling of the English language: The policy has gotten “everybody up in a roar,” he said. Is our children learning?

School Principal: Mary Jane, we’re sending you home because we have it on good authority that you are pregnant and we don’t want the others to see you like that.

Mary Jane: But it’s your baby.

School Principal: No, It’s God’s baby.

The whole thing is very wrong, yes, but it’s nothing new. This sort of behaviour has been around forever. When I was in HS in the 1970’s, a classmate was transferred to “a girls’ school” for one semester, because she needed “special tutoring”. Right.

“girls suspected of being pregnant”…how does that work exactly? Is it the rumour mill or if you’ve put on a few pounds that singles you out? Who is responsible for bailing up a young girl and informing them that they seem like someone who has been impregnated recently and could you please come pee on this stick. Does someone have to watch to make sure they’re not using someone else’s urine?

I’m a so-called born-again Christian and I (and every Christian I know) would consider “invading someone else’s life in this way” unthinkable as well.
