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.........

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.

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.
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?

Oh, wait...
Never mind.
