"The parents of a New York high school student filed a lawsuit this week against an upstate school district and others, alleging that students were taken off campus to a local health center for physical exams where some received birth control prescriptions without parental consent.
New York parents allege that a school allowed her daughter to be transported during school hours to a health clinic where she was prescribed birth control.Anthony and Eva Jackson allege that in 2011, a Peekskill City School District school counselor “agreed, conspired and/or arranged” student trips during school hours to the Hudson River Community Health Clinic where the counselor’s wife worked. The Jacksons allege their own daughter was “examined and prescribed birth control pills before being transported back to school … all without plaintiffs’ knowledge, consent or opportunity to opt out,” Courthouse News reported of the lawsuit filed in Westchester County Supreme Court."
