Injustice of the week

OK, that title might be a little melodramatic, given that people are dying in the world. But check out this piece of crap: Pregnant student defies graduation ban. It's about this pregnant high school girl who was banned from her graduation at a Catholic high school in Alabama, because of the very fact that she was pregnant.

Kudos to the girl and her mother for defying this ban, and to her fellow students for applauding her and encouraging her. Here's the real shit kicker though: the father of her soon-to-be child was also a student at the school, and naturally, he was allowed to walk for graduation.

Is this the 1950s? Come on, people...
