When I lived in Oklahoma and went to a fundamentalist christian school, I specifically remember my social studies teacher (an Israeli christian convert I shit you not) talking about how parents in China will often drown their newborn babies either because they already have one child and/or they want a son so much that they kill the girls since they're only allowed one child.
