Speaking of double standards
From NPR (emphasis by the FG):
The St. Jude Educational Institute in Montgomery, Ala., banned one senior from taking part in her graduation because she is pregnant -- but she took part anyway. Alysha Cosby called out her own name and walked across the stage to receive her diploma. The Catholic school had allowed the father of the baby to take part in commencement. The Montgomery Advertiser reports that while some at the graduation didn't appreciate Alysha asserting herself, many of her classmates cheered.

Now that just sucks. What a double standard, and what an antiquated school. The politics of exclusion are alive and well, and thriving in schools. Parents, know thy students' teachers, and know them well.
Props to Alysha, and boos to the father. Double boos to NPR for calling her pregnancy a baby.

Point taken, but what would you suggest they call him, the sperm donor?
