But since they are a charter...........if they receive public funds they cannot. Title IX dictates this. This should not ever make it to a trial.
Here's the bonus level question...
Does this school receive public funding?

You know what?
Rather than trust you to answer the question, let me spell it out for you...
Delhi Charter School - Delhi, Louisiana/LA | PublicSchoolReview.com

Here's another clue for you...
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dicti...charter+school
charter school: a tax-supported school established by a charter between a granting body (as a school board) and an outside group (as of teachers and parents) which operates the school without most local and state educational regulations so as to achieve set goals
(and in case I need to spell out even more that should be obvious, the regulation in question IS NOT a "local and state" regulation. It's a FEDERAL one. )

You can verify the policy from their own documentation. Page C15
http://www.delhicharterschool.org/ww...cy_manual.html

It astounds me that crap like this exists these days.
Sending them to a doctor the school chooses sounds extreme, but with the rest of it I can't disagree. They are evidently trying to hold up some standard here and pregnant girls is a distraction at best. They should also make every effort to look for the impregnating boys.

I haven't sifted through guide-book, but what do you want to bet that absolutely no concern is made for the boy who impregnates the girl ...

Charter school - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
charter school: a tax-supported school established by a charter between a granting body (as a school board) and an outside group (as of teachers and parents) which operates the school without most local and state educational regulations so as to achieve set goals
(and in case I need to spell out even more that should be obvious, the regulation in question IS NOT a "local and state" regulation. It's a FEDERAL one. )

I had already stated this in my post. Your need to feel superior and move the goals post was not necessary.

Quite frankly, I have no idea how this got past the lawyers in the first place.

If you were saying that it should not make it to trial because the Dehli school will have to recognize they cannot keep their rule, then I misunderstood your statements...

Yes. A first year law student could have caught this.

I would expect a retraction of the rule and a formal apology before the weeks end. ALso a letter from the state with threats of withholding funds should show up too.

If schools want to have a say in the personal lives of our children, then let them send a check to the parents to help raise them.
