Expulsion for them

Since, they are HIV+, parents of non-HIV positive kids are demanding expulsion for the fear of infection. This fear is of getting infected, just being in the proximity of infection. Its not bad enough that they have been infected with the disease that they also face this community ostracism?

Since the school reopened in the second week of June, these 150 students have remained absent for fear of infection. "We fear that if our children play with HIV-positive kids, they too will contract the dreaded disease. We don't want our students to continue their education in this school."

To further pressure the zilla parishad administration into expelling the students, the villagers at a well-attended meeting unanimously passed a resolution to withdraw their children from school if the HIV-positive students were not expelled.
