An example of our president's legacy in Chicago!
|
I'm going to have to agree with the principal here. This problem has started in the home. The welfare system has destroyed the fabric of the family and that was followed up with the disintegration of a true biblical world view. Chicago has been the cradle of the welfare system for over 50 years and we have seen the quality of life there sink to a new low!
"Report: 1 in 8 Female Students Pregnant at Chicago High School
Friday, October 16, 2009
The number of teenage moms has increased in recent years — and one Chicago high school has reportedly become a shocking example of that, revealing that one in eight of its female students are pregnant.
Of the 800 female students at Paul Robeson High School in Chicago, Ill., 115 are expectant mothers, CBS2Chicago.com reported Thursday.
The staggering number can be attributed to various factors inside the home — not the school — principal Gerald Morrow told the station.
"It can be a lot of things that are happening in the home or not happening in the home, if you will," Morrow said, according to the network, noting that "absentee fathers" are another factor in the school's high number of teen pregnancies.
The birth rate for teens ages 15 to 19 increased 5 percent from 2005 to 2007, according to a March 18 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics.
Morrow was not immediately available for comment Friday when contacted by Foxnews.com."
Perhaps Mr. Obama should resign and go back and do some more community organizing!

the last line was Kenneth's. See Kenneth, it's hard to tell sometimes.
I'm sure this is going on all over the Country, so why even mention President Obama? It surely isn't strictly a Chicago ailment, nor is he, or was he, able to control something like this.
October 19, 2009 at 5:51 p.m.I cant see how this is Obamas fault. I dont remember him coming up with the welfare system. So by your reasoning here Rick Perry is responsible for all the illegal immigrants entering through Texas. He is the governer of Texas. I must applaud you for getting this article from a fair balanced news agency such as Fox News.
October 19, 2009 at 5:39 p.m.Ahh, the legacy of LBJ and the great society.
October 17, 2009 at 5:19 p.m.LOL, it's all because of "No child left behind".
A teenager wouldn't want to be left behind by her pregnant peers would they?
October 17, 2009 at 5:11 p.m.Did you leave out the explanation from the White House about how this is all George W. Bush's fault? I'll bet that explanation is a doozy!
