NORMANDY, Mo. — Students at a suburban St. Louis high school headed to the gymnasium for HIV testing this week after an infected person told health officials as many as 50 teenagers might have been exposed to the virus that causes AIDS.

Officials refused to give details on who the person was or how the students at Normandy High School might have been exposed, but the district is consulting with national AIDS organizations as it tries to minimize the fallout and prevent the infection — and misinformation — from spreading.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I'm sure that no one would dream to imagine the worst.

Knowing the usual methods of transmission, one can only imagine the worst.

I hope these school idiots also follow up with Hepatitis A, B, and C testing as well.

I hope they do also. When my oldest daughter was in high school heroin was the drug of choice. Needles were shared & I wonder how many kids got Hep C or worse.

If the public schools would tell the little kiddies what gay sex was when they make them read Heather has 2 Mommies or the King & the King maybe it would stop AIDS. However they don't tell the 2nd graders what it is just that its ok to be gay. Shaking my head again...

Wow, this is scary stuff. The more you think about it, the harder it is to find a reason to support public education.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Any government program with this much morbidity and mortality should be terminated immediately. Government K-12 qualifies.

Heroin users don't exactly lead normal lives. If a kid is using heroin he ain't at school.

That said, it could have something to do with the nurse's office. Either that or it's a BS ploy to tout Obama's "universal health care."

” Officials refused to give details on who the person was or how the students at Normandy High School might have been exposed”

Im more disgusted that officials wont tell parents whats going on than about what is actually going on..
