"They all must have missed the putting a condom on a banana demonstration."

No, they were there. They put the condom on a banana just like they were shown in class, and somehow they still got pregnant.

I went back to my old high school in Prince Georges county (outside DC) a few years ago. It is now almost entirely urban Amish.
Like a big dummie I asked what the new, very large double-story building was next to the classrooms. That’s right: it’s a nursery.

.....One day they’re going to figure out what causes that (pregnancy).....

My wife had a long running public TV show on mother baby care.

She was invited to talk to a group of pregnant high school girls who were tutored in school facility not at the high school. The gathering was informal and included 6 black girls. During the conversation, it came out and was learned that the same guy was father to 4 of the 6 babies to be.

From the article:

“In the morning time, she'll wake me up about 5:00, and I'll get up and find me something to wear to school,” said Sutton. “I'll get her dressed, and if she has to go somewhere, her daddy keeps her sometimes and I'll get ready for school.”

Sutton said she was five months along when she found out she was pregnant. Her parents and classmates were stunned.

“They were like, ‘Terrika, I never knew you would get pregnant,’” she said. “I was like, ‘well, it happened.’”

I think the young lady needed to pay attention to her English studies.

What she said: “Being 2011, I thought a lot of them would have thought this is not the right way to go, having babies during school time,” she added. “

What she meant: “Why don’t they get abortions?”

This is what happens when people are not held accountable for the consequences of their actions. Put the sperm donors in jail or in the workhouse, while you’re at it.

"About 90 students at a Memphis High School are either pregnant, or have been recently."

Busy little . . . no, I won't say it.

a new initiative to help combat the problem What was the last "initiative?" Sex education?? Obviously, it didn't work. Abstinence works 100% of the time, guaranteed.

No, they didn’t miss that demonstration. What happened though, is that when they engaged in sexual behavior, the condom on the banana didn’t work they way they were promised ;-))

Heard any Frayser jokes lately? I guess not. Faryser jokes have been replaced with Frayser facts, word for word..

I'll bet if you asked them, a lot would say they put a condom on a banana and it was sitting right there on the nightstand while we had sex. Musta been a defective condom. They don't always work, ya know.

Back when Clinton was governer of Arkansas, at one of our local lilly white schools, the entire class of graduating girls had a case of the big belly.

And the graduating boys all had smiles on their faces!

That’s great!! And how’s this??

Pregnant student’s mandatory curriculum:

• Home Ec.
• Child Care
• Health 101 (emphasis on the fact that intercourse and reproduction are directly interrelated)
• Great Books Literature.... so that young women who have chosen THAT course, may comprehend the significance of maternity and the place of women in society. Maybe self respect will return and benefit both child and parent.
