Clemson Policy on Pregnant Athletes Dropped
A Clemson track coach told her athletes that becoming pregnant could jeopardize their scholarships, but no students lost their aid and the policy was dropped, the South Carolina school said Monday.The warnings came to light Sunday when ESPN, citing an anonymous female athlete at the school, reported that at least seven current and former Clemson athletes had abortions for fear of losing their scholarships. The athlete told the sports network that she had an abortion after a school official told her she could lose her scholarship.
I can’t help to wonder how much more stupid our kids and younger adults are going to become with each passing year. I’m sorry, but 7 students? Don’t these people know what the hell is a rubber is?
