“While parental consent is typically required when a student goes on a field trip or is subjected to a vision test in school, students as young 13 years old are being prescribed birth control at a public school in Washington D.C. and they could leave school with a prescription for pills or a newly inserted IUD, without their parents ever being notified.
The program is currently happening at Anacostia High School, a public school in D.C. that has around 450 students, 98.9 percent of whom are African American. Only 1 percent of the students are proficient in Math, and only 4 percent are proficient in English, according to the school’s website.
Midwife Loral Patchen, who runs the program at the school and is responsible for administering pregnancy and STD tests, and prescribing various forms of birth control to underage girls, told NPR that the goal is to reduce the rate of teen pregnancy.”

First, notice those statistics: the school is about 99% black, with 1% of the “students” being proficient in math, and 4% proficient in English. Coincidence? You decide.
Pregnancy and abortion rates among black teen girls are astronomically higher than other ethnic groups. In fact, in D.C. the number of abortions among blacks exceeds the number of live births each year. Given this dismal reality, it is highly doubtful that parental consent would have any impact one way or another on the inevitable outcome – teen mothers with multiple children by multiple fathers on welfare.
