Louisiana School Revokes Harsh Pregnancy Policy | Mother Jones →

A Louisiana public charter school drew criticism this week for requiring female students ”suspected” of being pregnant to take pregnancy tests—and expelling students who tested positive. But a national outcry has led the school to scrap the rule, according to school offiials.

Dehli claims that “just a handful” of female students had been affected by the policy since it was instated in 2006. But when students return to school next week, it will no longer be in effect.

    “just a handful”? A handful is too many teens refused education. For any reason.
