"Wanda Pillow presents a critical analysis of federal law and policy towards pregnant teens, representations of teen pregnancy in popular culture and the educational opportunities schools provide for school-aged mothers. Through in-depth analysis of specific policies and programs, both past and present, this book traces our successes and failures in educating pregnant teens. Unfit Subjects uses feminist, race, and poststructural theories to inform a satisfactory educational policy."--Publisher description.
