Expulsion of girls from school over pregnancy is immoral

News of the expulsion of eight girls from Moi Girls-Kapsowar Secondary school in Uasin-Gishu County hit me like a brick on the head. These girls have been banned from class and barred from doing final exams.

There are forms of discipline that can send the message home loud and clear without abolishing a young woman’s future. If barring teenagers from accessing the most basic needs such as education doesn’t epitomize prejudice, someone better sit me down and clearly explain to me what prejudice really is.
