Turlock Bars AIDS Pupils

Without discussion, Turlock High School District trustees followed the lead of elementary board members and adopted a policy barring students with AIDS. The two Stanislaus County districts will ban any child afflicted with acquired immune deficiency syndrome from school, but provide for home education. The policy was proposed by schools Supt. Denton Palmer because he believes it will protect AIDS patients and fellow students. It gained support from the high school student council before adoption by trustees. No district students have been diagnosed with AIDS.
