Normandy High School Students, Keep Your Pants On--Don't Act Like Your Parents

If I had high school aged kids they would be zoned for this school. Sad.

NORMANDY, Missouri (AP) -- Students at a suburban St. Louis high school headed to the gymnasium for HIV testing this week after an infected person told health officials as many as 50 teenagers might have been exposed to the virus that causes AIDS.

Students at Normandy High School in suburban St. Louis, Missouri, are being tested for HIV.

Officials refused to give details on who the person was or how the students at Normandy High School might have been exposed, but the district is consulting with national AIDS organizations as it tries to minimize the fallout and prevent the infection -- and misinformation -- from spreading.

"There's potential for stigma for all students regardless of whether they're positive or negative," Normandy School District spokesman Doug Hochstedler said Thursday. "The board wants to be sure all children are fully educated."

A teacher in a neighboring district singled out a girl who dates someone at Normandy High and instructed her to get tested, Hochstedler said. A competing school's football team initially balked at playing Normandy's 8-0 team.

Jasmine Lane, a 16-year-old sophomore, said her boyfriend from a neighboring high school broke up with her on learning of the news -- after she bought them tickets to homecoming.

"I cried so hard," she said.

I'm so angry at this story. It's so sad. Moral failings all over the place with kids, their parents, and the churches in the area.

There's a well-known church I know of (I'm some circles) in the area that does absolutely nothing with the kids in this area but people brag about it reaching "the city." P----LEASE
