Some School in US stops Kicking out pregnant students.


Should pregnant girls be kicked out of school? Some schools in US don’t think so. According to USA TODAY News,  La. school has stopped the  kicking out of pregnant students. Louisiana school also said that they will stop kicking out pregnant girls and also stop forced pregnancy tests.

 Initially, the schools forces pregnancy tests on suspected girls. They now intend to change all their policy that sacks pregnant girls from school or suspected girls who refuse to go for pregnancy test.

It is believed that such policies is in violation of Title IX of the 1972 federal education law, which requires equal opportunities for both sexes.  Too many schools do not realize pregnant students should receive equal treatment, the National Women's Law Center said in a June report.

"Despite enormous advances for women and girls in education since 1972, schools across the country continue to bar pregnant and parenting students from activities, kick them out of school, pressure them to attend alternative programs, and penalize them for pregnancy-related absences," the law center said in the report.
