It has about 800 girls, and 115 of them have something in common – something you might find disturbing.
CBS 2's Kristyn Hartman reports.
All those young ladies are moms or moms-to-be at Paul Robeson High School. It's not a school for young mothers, it's a neighborhood school. And all of the pregnancies have happened, despite prevention talk.
If you want to know why, the people closest to the situation say there's no simple explanation.........

“If you want to know why, the people closest to the situation say there’s no simple explanation”
Sure there is; because society as a whole encourages promiscuity especially among the young.
So they kin git some of that Obama money! From his stash!
I may be old fashioned, but behavior seemed much more controlled when there was some stigma attached. This was especially true when evidence of the behavior showed up about 9 months later. Sure girls got pregnant in high school, but it was considered being in “trouble”. I sometimes miss the good old days.
Amen,brother.
I guess because the little "welfare queens" can now collect payments for two, section-8 for housing, food stamps, medical care, help with utilities......and all kinds of goodies.
Nex time I see’s Obama, I’m gunna axe him where he be stay’n.
Well I am sure none of the pregnancies can be traced to OBAMA.
Ain’t that right LARRY SINCLAIR
The girls see it as a 100% positive.
They’ll get to move out into their own apartment in the projects, they’ll get their own check, their own food stamps, and be “independent”(at least from their own mums).
Don’ you care ‘bout Bomma. He be ACDC, doncha know?
Because they could.
Robeson HS??? Would that be, the Paul Robeson?? The known Commie.
Maybe the result of their Hail 0bama! parties.
AFDC, EIC, EIC Advance Payments, EBTs, Food Stamps (actually part of EBTs), SHIP payments, Medicaid, etc. etc.
etc. (more Obama money), etc. etc.
It cost at least $1500 to get to place painted and cleaned.

How did we get here without Sex Ed for the ancients?
From the Modern Libertine Dictionary -
Shame: (definition) Middle English, from Old English scamu; akin to Old High German scama shame
Date: before 12th century
Archaic
1. Used by white skinned Christian oligarchs to shame minorities and women into behaving against their natural instincts.
2. Fundamental learning tool that establishes great civilizations.
3. Something having to do with God a myth made up by white skinned oligarchs to control the population.
Ed. Note: this term is no longer in common use and is scheduled for deletion after the next census.
I was one of those HTBs & I can still remember those days. The girls were the center of attention of the boys, & most of the fights & classroom disruptions were over a girl. The teacher is conjugating a verb while the goddess sitting next to me is, well, a goddess. What do you think I learned that day?
The solution is sex segregated schooling after the 5th or 6th grade thru graduation from high school. And that includes teachers, too, though I might allow the exceptions of those really old, mean women teachers to teach boys.
If you take the sex out of the schools, more learning & less disruption will result. Perhaps fewer girls will get pregnant. I know the boys will get a better education, & likely so will the girls.
After school & weekends is plenty of time for socializing.
School is about EDUCATION, not sex!
It's a no brainer.

Because they were having sex?
Hear, hear!
Just got a form from my son’s middle school (he’s in the 6th grade) letting us know about upcoming sexual education courses. There are evening meetings for parents to hear what they would like to teach our children about sex.
My first thought: I’ve taught my son all that is appropriate for him to understand about his body and human sexuality (the biology of it all, the purpose, etc.). I don’t need the school to do this for me; it’s my job as a parent.
And my follow-up thought: they’ve been ‘educating’ kids about sex for years, under the guise of informing them so they can make better decisions. All I’m seeing is continued teen pregnancy and STD diagnosis, an increase in promiscuity, and a lapse in morality. How is this ‘education’ helping again?
What astounds me from this article: ‘Just because you have a baby doesn’t mean your life is over.’ What a horribly sad statement on their view of human life.
I like the idea of uniforms, too, though a coat & tie is a bit too much for me. Basic uniforms AND GROOMING resolve a lot of issues at schools and for parents.
But you can put a goddess in a garbage bag, & most of the boys will still have their eyes (and thoughts) glued to the bag.
I do not mind the idea of uniforms in a private school, but uniforms in a goverment school? no way, its too much like the Adolf Hitler thinking.
It doesn’t always work though. I have heard that one of the all-girl Catholic high schools here in Houston has a fairly high number of pregnanies and, like pregnancies in a lot of affluent schools, many end in abortion.
<where he be stay’n.
Why the hell do they say that? Unless you are ‘staying’ at a hotel, don’t you live somewhere? I hate that phrase.

That comment from Detroit about Obama’s stash should become a political commercial against liberalism
One of the predictable consequences of LBJ's so called "Great Society" policies.
They put the condom on the cucumber instead of the #@*^?
As for families, with uniforms there are no morning arguments about the appropriateness of an outfit, as well as no argument at the clothing store about school clothes.
I'm not talking about a UNIFORM like the military or scouts wear. Just some khaki or dark pants, socks & hard sole shoes, & 2-3 collared shirts, pull over or button up. Similar for girls.
This is the uniform of my local public schools, & it makes good sense & saves some good cents for families, too.
I don't buy your Hitler comparison. Our brave soldiers wear a uniform, scouts wear uniforms, park rangers, firemen, & policemen wear uniforms. Clearly, the best part of America wears a uniform. Even Captain Kirk wore a uniform! :) I don't recall Hitler when I see these people, nor when I see kids dressed uniformly in school.
What I have seen recently that reminds me of Hitler is the video of school kids singing the “Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm” song. I don't believe I saw any uniforms. Liberals (nothing personal) hate uniforms. I am far more concerned about what kids learn in school that what they wear.
But 6+ hours of academics absent of the opposite sex seems better than 6+ hours of “pinch & tickle” in a coed school, if an education is your goal. Six plus hours of “doing without” might just give kids the strength to resist temptation the other 18 hours a day. Perhaps it will give the mind the opportunity to overcome the hormones.
I remember those spring dresses & skirts. Oh boy! I might as well have tried to learn biology or chemistry at poolside of the Playboy Mansion.
Perhaps it’s because ms. obammer told all of them that sexual intercourse was an olympic event??
I have rental properties in Chester, Pa. so I have seen what goes on first hand.
Believe me, I would sell in a heartbeat, but the real estate market there is so bad I'd have to give them away.
The silver lining in this article is that no one mentioned “We don’t want these kids punished with a baby”. At least this article doesn’t mention abortion.
Soldiers need to wear uniforms as they are in the goverments service, but school children are not soldiers.
The men who fought in vietnam complained that since every one dressed the same and did not wear uniforms that could not be identified as the enemy made it hard for them to know who thier enemy was, so soldiers do need uniforms.
Prisoners also wear uniforms, children are not prisoners.
if dress has so much to do with telling what kind of kids they are by how they dress, then uniforms makes no sense at all because they would be all the same.
How would they recognize the trouble makers if they were all dressed the same, how would you be able to tell a gang member from a good kid, its all nonsense,.
make them dress the same, give them the same grades, make them all eat the same thing, just a bunch of socialist bullcrap, and socialism is unamerican.
I believe in a dress code, but not uniforms, and dam sure not suits and ties.
Could it be due to promiscuous premarital sex?
Cuz they wuz gettin they freak on.

Yes I think soldiers need to wear uniforms so they can identify each other and for obvious other reasons and maybe even big city police, but a small town deputy, they look like clowns. school kids in uniforms, ( stupid socialism )
It’s too bad those days are gone.
I hate that “grammar”,especially when “at” is thrown in at the end.”Where the car at”? or “you is” arrrgh!
They're naming High Schools after communists now?
