A school has admitted handing out 345 morning-after pills to teenage girls without telling their parents.
The figure for contraceptives distributed at Lutterworth Grammar School and Community College over four years is believed to be the highest in England and Wales.
Parents and family groups were outraged at the "disgusting" and "wicked" scheme which they say encourages promiscuity and could put children at risk of contracting sexually-transmitted diseases.

This is a news that I found from Daily Mail recently.
I think I can't really accept what they did, because this will give encouragement to the teenagers to have unprotected and underage sex.
I think the way to reduce under age pregnancies is not to hand out pills, but to hand out the punishment laid down by law on anyone having underage sex. If some prison sentences were handed out people, particularly young people, would perhaps think twice before indulging in promiscuous activities. And I think they should promote and educate the teenagers rather than handing out the pills.
It is not reasonable that the school not telling the parents becasue schools will let you know if your child has missed a lesson, even when they are 16 plus, is their health of less importance than missing lessons?
