Middle School Pregnancy Test

An irate father in Jackson, Mississippi is demanding that his daughter’s sixth grade teacher at the Chastain Middle School be fired, said pc.blogspot.com.

According to Curtis Lyons, the teacher handed out a survey asking students to select which one of their classmates was most likely to contract AIDS, get pregnant or die before they graduated.
When she learned that her fellow students thought she would be the first one to get pregnant, his daughter—an honor student—was humiliated, said Lyons.

“Where was the lesson in that?” asked Lyons, who said that in his opinion, this person should not be teaching kids.
Lucy Hansford, JPS communications specialist, said that since the school system is investigating the matter, they were not able to release any details at the present time.
