High School Censors Birth Control Info

Back to the Dark Ages we go:

Students at Oak Ridge High School were apparently unaware that birth control is a forbidden subject. The latest issue of the student newspaper - which featured an informative article on the subject - has been censored by school officials. All 1,800 copies of the newspaper have been seized.

I guess it's time to start building a shield with the family crest and have my daughters fitted for chasity belts. I'm looking for an email address for the school.....

Here's the principal & vice-principal, drop 'em a note of thanks!

kgreen@ortn.edu ccarringer@ortn.edu

My letter...

I certainly hope that someone takes your school to task for 1st amendment violations. Thank-you for doing your part to make sure this country descends back into the theocracy of the Dark Ages. I assume that you prefer pregnant, single-mother teens to teens informed about birth control??? What an embarassment to all Tennesseans......

Another link.
