Story: Pregnancy Pact Principal Resigns, Stands by His Claims
After realizing that neither the superintendent nor town mayor supported him, it only made sense to leave the position. He still believes, as does the rest of the world (except for the town of Gloucester who is afraid to damage their image), that it is NO COINCIDENCE that 17 girls got pregnant at once. Rather than learn from this, the school would rather move on and pretend this sort of thing happens all the time. But if there's anyone in the area needing some part-time cash, there will be 17 babysitting jobs opening up in about 4-5 years.

Is there any evidence at all for his claim?
I don't think his opponents are saying that it's necessarily 'coincidence' that the teen pregnancy rate went up (although sure, it could be), but rather that it's irresponsible to just plain make stuff up to explain it.
A bit like the claim gloabl warming is caused by human co2 emissions, really.
