HIV Scare at St. Louis High School
Normandy High School officials should have come out strongly, advocating openness, pushing sex education, and acknowledging the problems and pressures of teenage life.

What's really at stake isn't whether the story of Spear's pregnancy is true or not, but the way the news is delivered and then the way that pregnancy and birth are treated by the media and public.

We have an opportunity to take advantage of a renewed national conversation and once again emphasize pregnancy prevention for today's teenagers -- both boys and girls.

Recent public displays of contraceptive failure by girls of visibility and means gives the misleading appearance that teen motherhood might be a lifestyle upgrade.

If you thought Jamie Lynn couldn't stand it when her big sister Britney was getting all the attention, how do you think she felt when Bristol Palin became the country's most notorious pregnant teen?

It's not clear to me that the American public wants to debate Sarah Palin's child-rearing skills and personal decisions as a means to determine her competency as a Vice President. But we haven't been given much else.

Instead of creating educational safety, McCain and Palin would have our students learn from creationism that one day they will wake to find a rib missing and a new mate by their sides.

We all thought that first interview was going to be with ABC's Charles Gibson. Little did we know how wrong we were.

To the frustrated Democrats who have responded to Obama's stationary poll position by wailing for their candidate to quit dancing and fight like a man, now I hope you see where the low road will take you.

In this video, Keven claims he is the father of Bristol Palin's child. Keven, a self-professed aspiring "urban rapper", pronounces "Palin" wrong, so for that reason alone, this is suspect. But authenticity aside, this is brilliant.

Apparently the Republicans are up in arms about the treatment that poor Sarah Palin has received in the "liberal media". Well the self-proclaimed pit bull with lipstick better get used to it.

Sarah Palin scares the hell out of me, and for good reasons. She believes the war in Iraq is "God's task." She has actively sought the support of th...

At this point in history, is the net effect of religion in general (and Catholicism on Latino culture specifically) a positive? My belief is that it ultimately does more harm than good.

Consider the other choice. If you turned down the Big Chance to get family matters on track, and then had to find another political opening later -- same question.

Palin is sending a strange message on abstinence-only sex education; it clearly didn't work for her daughter. Indeed a lot of women are angry about that message and panicked over the enthusiasm Palin seems to be inspiring. Let me offer four reasons to calm down.

Sarah Palin is a shining example of the potential and power of women. And in one hot moment, her daughter gave away her power to make the decisions about how she wanted her future to play out.

The response to Bristol Palin's pregnancy from the Obama campaign, and anyone else with half a brain, a sprinkle of candor and a dash of decency, has been pitch perfect. It really is the family's business.
