There’s a lot of weird, stuff going on in schools these days, but . . .

Steve Davis, a counselor at Seven Hills Middle School in Nevada City, Calif., pulled a 12-year-old girl out of class and forced her to . . .  take a pregnancy test.

Both he and the school district are now being sued.

KCRA3 reports that the Pacific Justice Institute, which is representing the girl, said in a news release that Davis heard rumors that the 12-year-old was pregnant and wanted to know if it was true. 

The notion that kids could be talking smack about each other didn’t occur to him.

So he got a pregnancy test from the school nurse and told the 12-year-old to give a urine sample.

Not pregnant. 

According to the PJI, the girl was embarrassed and humiliated, and her parents were angry when they found out. 

They couldn’t even get the Nevada City School District to apologize.

Now they’ll probably get an apology with a dollar-sign and some zeroes. The suit seeks damages for violation of the girl’s right to privacy and emotional distress.

“There is no merit in the claim,” Superintendent Roger Steel said.

If there’s no merit to that claim then some major part of the story has to be missing. How could it possibly be allowable for a school employee, acting solely upon gossip spread by 12-year-olds, to ask another 12-year-old to take a pregnancy test? And what if she was pregnant? What then?
