Teen Gets 2-Week Suspension for Taking Her Birth Control Pill
Zero Tolerance policies often include everything under the sun: prescriptions, over-the-counters, and of course the illegal junk.
But when a Fairfax County, Virginia mom got word that her daughter would receive a two-week suspension for the birth control pill, she was shocked,
I realize my daughter broke a rule. The punishment does not fit the crime.
I’ll say. Whether or not you believe in teens and birth control, it was a decision the girl made with her mom. And because she responsibly remembered to take the hormone on her lunch break, the Zero Tolerance Policy mandated she be punished.
Now the teen is even facing expulsion. WTF?!
