The mayor does not use good grammar of which I am aware of. It''s a bit scary at times.

They need to send in the child protective services and state police just like they did in El Dorado Texas. Take all the kids and put them in foster homes, arrest the mayor and city leaders for child abuse.

No evidence! What does it take a broken beer bottle to smash that mayor in the face before he wakes up and smells reality.It is all over the internet,that is proof enough that theses girls needs are very important right now.They need a psych team from M.I.T to ascend upon that community.

These children having babies are the product of the "It takes a village" mentality - where these kid''s parents aren''t parenting because someone told them that it was OK to let society raise their kids.

If this happens to your kid, it was from years of your parental influence. Or lack of it...

Unless all of them turn out to become JK Rawlings (a single mom who ultimately made it on her own), society will pay in the upkeep and then multifold in the subsequent generations as the cycle repeats with their offspring.

"And that negates the utter lack of morals in liberal principals and teachers, uh, how?"

You want teachers to teach morals or school subjects?

No evidence? ha! Look at the town you have 17 count them 17 pregnant MINORS. I''ll bet that these local elected officials couldn''t see the forest because the trees are in the way. Schmucks. I am also willing to bet that these girls were interviewed by said officials and were told no. Come on how stupid are these people

This should be treated as yelling fire in a crowded room, namely, prosecute that principal!

"Ever hear of people called "parents?" They''''re responsible for steering their kids in the right direction from the get-go. Monitor what their watching on TV, music their listening to, people they talk to, things they read, etc. Enough with putting kids in the hands of our government."

"In a society in which sexual conotation runs rampant in television shows and commercials, where clothes designed for female children accentuate 13 yr old bustlines and cleavage, where children learn from an early age of the corruptness of our leaders, where ads are allowed that are designed to decieve, where products are a mere shadow of the craftmanship of yesteryear, not to mention produced by child-labor and marketed by Wal-Mart that the american consumer buys with little regard for its origin, all condoned by a government bought and paid for by conscienceless corporations, and finally, religious leaders and day-care centers themselves prey on our children, its small wonder there are any morals at all."

Amen. And liberals, most teachers and principals are liberals, want us to think they''ve got morals. Yeah, right!

Since when is the word s-e-x considered profane, but not the word s-e-x-u-a-l, as used in an earlier post? That word wasn''t asterisked out. I''m sure if you were even quoted Mother Theresa or the Pope and either one used this word in a post, your program would also asterisk it out.

Males are just as much to blame for promiscuity as are females, along with the parents, Hollywood and the entertainment industry; the schools aren''t there to train kids on birth control and *** education and have the least amount of culpability in this tragic commentary on the continuing decline of society and its morality. And, for this mayor to come out and try to deflect attention from this problem with her town and one of its schools is laughable. Sounds to me like she can''t handle all of the rightful negative publicity. Ultimately the taxpayers will have to pick up some of the tab in raising these kids, since the girl-moms won''t be able to adequately do so, and the males that got them pregnant won''t care at all.

So this was just a coincidence? Give me a break! If this turns out to be true, the parents better take a hard long look at their parenting skills and the therapists in that town better get their couches ready because those girls are sick.

["Any planned blood-oath bond to become pregnant - there is absolutely no evidence of," Mayor Carolyn Kirk said Monday after a closed-door meeting with city, school and health leaders. ]

you have a pregnancy rate that''s four times normal ... two resignations ... and a principal w/ a fuzzy memory ... but there''s no reason to think anything unusual is up.

is that illegal or something? Just tell the 17 girls you are not getting any help from the govt'', no welfare no foodstamps, then either the girls will have to get jobs working 70-80 hours a week or they and their kids will starve. That would send a message don''t you think.
