"If we had math books from 1988, reading books from 1988, as a parent, I would be furious," said Patty Rafailedes, a physical education teacher.

Patty, dear, math and reading have not changed since 1988, nor, to my knowledge, has how women become pregnant changed. Perhaps the problem is not with the books but elsewhere.

Jack,

But these were written before revisionist history, outcome based education, and "enlightened" books were in full swing in the 90s. I mean, in these books on say, social science, they don't even mention the stories like "Johnny has two daddies". And the math books actually state "2+2=4"!!! *Gasp* How can the left fill young heads with hate and indoctrinated socialism with logical statements floating around???!!!?

Though it seem to me, the usually permissive leftist views on teen pregnancy are getting the predicted "outcomes".

I agree with you in the area of the information, but if the books are that old they have to be in shambles.

She may have a point in that area, but it sounds to me like she and the media are attempting to take the focus off of the problem and place blame on the tax payers.

We live in a godless society, so it's no surprise that so many young girls get pregnant these days.

In my opinion, kids have too much free time, and parents don't supervise them like they used to.
