One in Eight Girls Pregnant at Chicago High School
October 16th, 2009Via: CBS2Chicago:
It is a Chicago public school full of energy and spirit. It has about 800 girls, and 115 of them have something in common…
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.
If you want to know why, the people closest to the situation say there’s no simple explanation.
Chicago Public Schools says it does not track the overall number of teen moms in the district. But Robeson Principal Gerald Morrow knows the count at his school in Englewood: 115 young ladies who are expecting.

What irks me about these reports is the 115 fathers are never mentioned. These young girls are always going it alone. Maybe they should name all those babies Jesus. Malachi 4:6
The fathers aren’t mentioned because this is known as an “outrage” story, meant to fire people up against a totem of choice; in this case: teen pregnancy.
By portraying selective irresponsibility, the issue is no longer about how modern industrial society cruelly ostracizes young mothers or any other sensible subject. Instead, we have lots of “grrr” about injustice, none of which addresses anything approaching compassion — or an actual solution. And Moloch needs to feed.
Real fixes only happen when real people sit down and work out real answers to real problems. All the rest is just puppet theater to win eyes and entrain minds.
You mean the 15 to 20 dads?
