I guess it hadn't dawned on me that the principal saw this as a "glamourizing" of teen PG. The impression I got from the article was that the teens were attempting to portray the hell that girl had to go through in order to graduate. I just think that in a school that teaches "abstinence" banning her story from the yearbook falls in perfectly with thier methods: let's close our eyes and pretend it doesn't exist.
I'm sorry, but abstinence teaching is just rediculous IMO. I quite possibly would have been a teen mother if I hadn't had access to BCP and knowlege at my high school (course, who knows, as hard as it is for me TTC-maybe not!) But I think teens deserve more than wandering around in the dark. It's like anything else, they're gonna do it anyway, at least arm them.
And yes, Texas is much more conservative than here where I live, so things are different.
