Pregnant Teen graduate has last word
http://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/nation/11682189.htm

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A pregnant student who was banned from graduation at her Roman Catholic high school announced her own name and walked across the stage anyway at the close of the program.

Alysha Cosby’s decision prompted cheers and applause Tuesday from many fellow seniors at St. Jude Educational Institute. But her mother and aunt were escorted out of the church by police after Cosby headed back to her seat.

“I can’t believe something like this is happening in 2005,” said her mother, Sheila Cosby. “My daughter has been through a lot, and I am proud of her. She deserved to walk, and she did.”

The school’s guidance counselor delivered Cosby’s degree to her house earlier Tuesday, but the teen still wanted to participate.

7. Here is what was total absolute bullshit
about that situation:

"The baby’s father, also a senior, was allowed to participate."

If they are going to be so archaic as to "punish" the girl, why did the father not get the same treatment? Oh, silly me, it's the Catholic church. Why would I expect women to get anything less than second-class treatment.

Signed,
An ex-Catholic
