An American school principal is on leave as part of an investigation about the distribution of foetus dolls at an elementary school in the state of Virginia.

The dolls were handed out to the students by a staff member of Oakwood Elementary School.

The staff member has been put on administrative leave as well.

The dolls which are pink and brown and about four inches long come with a pro-life message and information on foetal growth.

Many believe the dolls are not appropriate for eight to 10-year-olds, saying children should not be roped into the abortion debate that is raging across the US.
