RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME
An article from the mailbox:
CANTON, Ohio -- There are 490 female students at Timken High School, and 65 are pregnant, according to a recent report in the Canton Repository.
The article reported that some would say that movies, TV, videogames, lazy parents and lax discipline may all be to blame.
School officials are not sure what has contributed to so many pregnancies, but in response to them, the school is launching a three-prong educational program to address pregnancy, prevention and parenting.
Gee, I bet all those school officials know what will fix this problem. And I bet those same officials are not about to admit that they know. (Abstinence. Shhhhhh. We wouldn't want them to know that we know, would we?)
