I work in Memphis. Not an isolated incident.
Easy way to stop this: CUT WELFARE or award it only in married couples.
Wont ever happen though.
Bewildered white libs asking, “What went wrong?”
Well, there's your problem.
Or Palin's vitriol.
I can't decide.
*sigh* One day they’re going to figure out what causes that (pregnancy) and let the stupid people know so that they can avoid ruining their lives
Ever see the movie “Idiocracy”? I used to think it was a comedy- now I think it is a documentary.
I sincerely doubt there are more than a tiny handful of girls old enough to get pregnant who don’t know how it happens and how to prevent it. It is not a matter of education. It is a matter of a culture that doesn’t care. At best it is ignored, at worst it is glorified. When I taught high school the girls got all excited when one of their peers got pregnant. The reality of a baby didn’t set in until well after the fact, and frankly, the girls who are getting pregnant are not the sorts who learn from other people’s mistakes.
They all must have missed the putting a condom on a banana demonstration.
This let everyone know that his was frowned upon, and that you would be uprooted, and life would not go on as normal, except with you being the center of attention of all your friends.
A girl sued to stay in real High School and won.
Now they stay.
Pregnancy is socially contagious. Young women see another young woman pregnant and getting attention, and not much impact upon her life (yet!), and they think “Why not me?”.
That is how this spreads like wildfire in our High Schools. The social stigma is gone, every accommodation is made, and the girl gets to be “Princess for a day”, every day for a couple months.
Self esteem--that's the most important thing, and if you gotta instigate a few pregnancies, well...the reward is an expanded ego, and according to libs that's a good thing.

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.
“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?”
I visited the article a while ago. The comments there are/were brutal.
They call the place Memfrica for a reason ...
Busy little . . . no, I won't say it.
