Two articles, here and here, tell the story of a young girl who was accused of being pregnant by her highschool principal, after student rumors were passed along to him. The girl denied the allegations. After further arm twisting, she admitted to a favored female teacher, brought in to gain a confession in private, that she might be. The school then sent her to a "Christian" pregnancy counselling center. They did a pregnancy test, confirming that she was indeed gravid. The result of the pregnancy test was sent to the school, then disseminated to the staff, students and parents of students in the community.
The school then expelled her, with only two weeks left in the school year. There are three outcomes that this young woman now suffers. First, she loses a year of school credit. Second, all of her peers at school are made aware of her condition and she is humiliated before them and not allowed to graduate with her class. Third, if she did decide now to have an abortion, everyone in the local, inbred, fundamentalist community would know and she would be further branded by the community, not only as a whore but a baby murdering whore. She can probably kiss that scholarship to Bob Jones University goodbye too.
The parents of this girl are now suing the school, since all of this was done by the school, start to finish, without their knowledge or consent.
I'm not sure I have much sympathy for the parents, since they voluntarily committed the education of their child, into the hands of this snake pit of ululating weasels. I do have sympathy for the girl, who may not have had much input into where she went to school.
I do have some questions. Where is the father of this fetus, was he a student at the same school and if so, why was he not expelled? Why would anyone send their children to a school run by such obviously fucked up, black dirt ignorant, Bible thumping, snake handling scum?
I know a lot of Christians. I live with them, work with them, grew up with them. They are good people. Kind, gentle, considerate, loving, non judgemental people. They belong to many denominations. The people depicted as running this school and pregnancy counselling center, besides being unethical are not Christian by any definition.

You got that right, It is zealot's like these who wave the banner of christianity; but really only want a facist cult of personality. The "leader's" of these kinds of churchs are no different from Kim Jong II, Idi Amin, or Ferdinand Emmanuel Edralin Marcos. Unfortunatly there are large numbers of "Sheeple" who are willing to follow every prescribed ritual no matter how demeaning.
If that were my daughter, I would pay that pricipal a presonal visit, and he had better hope that his Teacher Union Health Insurance had been paid up.
Thanks for the comment.
You'd think these guys would realize that the chance to mold young minds through the 4 years of highschool is a huge opportunity for them and that this kind of heavy handed punishment just defeats everything they try to do. It will drive kids away from religion forever.
I can't say the prospect bothers me all that much.
