A shocking one in four students at a Bronx high school slated for closure is a teen parent or pregnant, The Post has learned.
That startling statistic is buried in thousands of pages of documents the city Department of Education submitted to the state earlier this year when it initially sought funds to fix the long-struggling Grace Dodge HS in Belmont.
It has since proposed shuttering the school with, critics charge, no regard to the parenting teens.

That's all that matters. To hell with the kids and their kids!
Sorry about the extra “but” in the post. I guess I was thinking of LBJ.
And if you point out the failures of these policies to your average “wanna feel good about myself as a good person” sheeperal,
they’ll get downright nasty on you for
“harshin’ their buzz”.
“when there is a financial incentive to pop out babies the babies will pop out.”
Exactly. These statistics should be hung around the neck of our first 50% black president. What policies or ideas has he put forth to deal with 50% illiteracy in Detroit, and the ridiculous prevalence of illegitimacy and fatherless homes in most (if not all) or our large American cities?
The critics are idiots. This statistic should be a Black Flag flying over this school (Plague Aboard).
This statistic shows that this school should be shut down. This statistic shows that being pregnant has become fashionable at this school.
Given that one would expect 50% of the students are male that would indicate that 50% of the girls at this school are or have been pregnant. This is beyond reason or imagination that this could happen unless it had become the expected social interaction of the students at this school. It has become the In Thing for girls to do.
This school should be shut down for no other reason than to get the kids out of the environment that encourages teen pregnancy.
If the so called "education" system is little more than enforced indoctrination in greivance mongering, ensuring that the inmates will never achieve literacy, or even be able to function in the English language, even better.
Mission Accomplished! They are the broodmares filling the stables with new voters for the welfare state.
Obscene.
New Zealand. I and my wife are eligible to immigrate there, but not our daughter and grandkids. We are stuck here.
My understanding was that NZ and Australia are also becoming infested with smug, “progressive” liberals.
Perhaps the only thing saving them from their own fiscal ignorance, is their isolation; it is too difficult for the usual parasites, who would be more than happy to take advantage of their vacuous, historically ignorant ....ahem....social inclusiveness, to migrate there.
This is a good thing! When America lacks a large enough population of low skill, poverty cycled labor class people we must resort to importing it from Mexico.
The real problem are the incentives these people have to not work after they pop the next generation of labor class out. Minimum Wage and Welfare Benefits need to be your target, not young inner-city mothers.
I’m not paying for it. After I get schooling and some funds, I am bailing to a country that does NOT support endless litters of illegitimate children. I want kids of my own and I am not putting having them off because I have to pay for Tamiqua’s spud or TaChinta’s brats who were created from the loins of a variety of gangster thugs.
Meanwhile, the most hardworking, the middle class, gets to pay and pay and pay and pay while everyone else plays.
Remember when bastard used to a bad word?
Babymama/Babydaddy-no stigma, no shame.
And gang members.

I’m thinking Poland....I know the language a little, plus they are pretty much a homogenous population, still staunchly Christian, and after their experience with Communism, very anti-Communist. They love Reagan over there more than here.
Where you gonna go?
All new schools will be built with a maternity ward and onsite day care.
No wonder the cost of education is rising so rapidly.
