Why Did 1 In 7 Girls Get Pregnant At Robeson High?
Channel 2 Chicago ^ | Oct 15, 2009 | Kristyn Hartman

CHICAGO (CBS) ― About one in seven girls at Robeson High School are pregnant. Officials say a variety of factors are to blame. Chicago public school full of energy and spirit. It has about 800 girls, and 115 of them have something in common – something you might find disturbing.

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.

I know nothing about the demographics of Robeson High. I suspect, unless someone tells me different, that it is predominately black. If so, the reason is clear. All the good intentions of liberals, such as the Great Society, have destroyed the black family. To be a black man is to impregnate as many hoes and bitches as possible. Hit and run so to speak. The children are raised by their grandmothers and aunts. Obama’s father did the same. Welcome to Obama’s America. The federal government is the new messa and all these chillins belong to it. A plantation by any other name is still a plantation.

Maybe they think Obama will pay for their baby, like the lady in Florida who said Obama will pay her mortgage and gas. Or the lady in Detroit who said she’s getting some Obama money.

Obama’s America

He's such a good community organizer. Look how well he's done in his own hometown. Now he's taken it to a national level.

Obama’s been busy. No wonder Michelle is so angry.

As a group Blacks have: the highest rate of out-of-wedlock births; imprisonment; abortions; high school dropouts; just voted 96% liberal Democrat; and the lowest rate of enlistment in our military. This is simply not conservative behavior.

Good article on the Collins Report, thanks. LOWEST RATE OF ENLISTMENT [per capita] in our military. I'm tired of that lie about Blacks doing the lion's share in our military. For 11 years, my son's various Companies, and we're talking combat INFANTRY here, looked like a snowfield of white faces. I asked him about that. He said he had no idea. The blacks that are there are good men, second to none but they too wonder why their "brothers" don't man up.

That was the same LIE trotted out during VN too. A real load of....of, well you know what. Thanks for linking that, very good.

You might be right but is it the role of schools to teach morality? Who gets to decide morality?

we know they teach sex education and they make sure girls get birth control.

It is a combo of thinking it won’t happen to them AND tht it is accepted. wonder how many high school mothers are children of single moms.

the pub assistance is a big draw as well

Despite prevention talk? More like, due to “prevention talk”, ie: sex ed.

Here’s the demographics of the high school. Yes, you’re right - 99% black and very low income. The school got a rating of a 1 star out of a high of ten. 7% passed reading, 2% science, and 3% passed math. Hussien wants to bring this to the rest of America.

"You might be right but is it the role of schools to teach morality?"

A child's upbringing is the exclusive responsibility of the parents. Certainly they can't be with the kids 24 hours a day, and arguably, *professional teachers* are more capable at teaching certain skills or areas. It used to be done under a concept of en loco parentis. This worked when the schools understood they were mere place holders for the parents, and parents held them accountable for the manner in which they discharged their duties in that capacity.

"Who gets to decide morality?"

Who decided yours?

Comes down to parenting, not race. I’d like to see the breakdown by 1 and 2 parent families. How many pregnant teens from the 1 parent families, how many from the two.

My Parents. grandparents. and church shaped my concepts of morality

A public school should not have the role of teaching morality.
Do you want the gov’t teaching your child morality?

Odumbo’s idea of morality is not mine.

Where did you learn your sense of morality?

The children are raised by their grandmothers and aunts.

Man, I really respect those women. At their stage in life, they sure as Hell don't need ANOTHER baby to raise, and yet time and time again they step up to the plate when the kid gets knocked up. To me, it shows the character of the old black generation, before it was ruined by the liberals.

I do admire these grandmothers and “aunties.” I had the opportunity to teach in an all black school for two years in Pickens County, Alabama. It is the second poorest county in the state. It was an education for me. I'm certain that it is a hundred times worse in Chicago. When I taught, I didn't know of a single student in a gang. They were simply living in poverty. Out of the 150 or students I taught, only two had fathers that actually lived with them. All the others were raised by a female, most often their grandmother. It is pitiful. No government program can be a substitute for an absentee father.
