You don't say?

Well, it's looking very likely that the Time story about a pregnancy pact is bogus.

Now, it's hindsight and all but read the original article. It's awful. The reporter deliberately obfuscates the most important information about the allegations, namely where they came from. It turns out that the principal of the school has gone back and forth about whether or not he even remembers who his original source was.

Aside from poor reporting, this whole story pisses me off because it's implied in the article that the reason for this rash of pregnancies was that the school had done too much to inform its students about sex and "embracing young mothers."

Not banishing and unnecessarily punishing young mothers; that's apparently a bad thing.
