AP News story: July 19 2000. (The Globe & Mail, Toronto, Canada) Miniskirts Banned in Fight Against AIDS Mbabane, Swaziland: "Swaziland will ban miniskirts in schools to try to halt the spread of AIDS, a government official said yesterday. The aim is to put a stop to sexual relationships between teachers and their female pupils in a country where at least one quarter of the population is infected with HIV. School girls are widely blamed for enticing teachers with their short skirts." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Folks, African government officials never cease to amaze me. This is a good example of what's wrong with the priorities and decision making processes on the African continent....blaming the chicken rather than confronting the fox. Picking on innocent students rather than punishing the pedophiles (teachers). Nothing can be more asinine! Madiba. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
