What's wrong with the school?

I feel proud of the girl who believed strongly in herself and walked at her graduation. She was banned from going to the graduation just 'cause she is pregnant. That's absolutely wrong. The Roman Catholic high school, St. Jude Educational Institute, told her she was not allowed to go with her class to the graduation despite she had earned the degree. She went on anyway, and I must say, "GOOD for her!" Don't let anything stop her from reaching her goal. Alysha should feel she accomplished what she had reached for. There have been too many girls dropping out of school once they got pregnant. Alysha could drop out, but she didn't. She continued, and for that she should have been allowed to go to the graduation. I feel that the school should butt out of her private life. I do not care if their beliefs look down at unmarried women.. HELL.. it's the Roman Catholic church who discourage usage of condoms! If she got pregnant because of that belief of no condoms, the school is a hyprociate! It's like asking a lion not to eat meat just because it's against the belief to kill, don't you think?

I hear ya....It is mysery as why the HS allowed father of the child to attend the graduation ceremony while mother wasn't permitted. Of course, it is underlying sin of Roman Catholic's view on women...shouldn't become priest, Mary Madagalene was whore (Pope Gregory got it messed up with other Mary the Whore), Eve's fault, Eve formed out of Adam's rib and forth on. I could keep going, but you get the picture. Good for Alysha to defy the ban and went ahead to walk on the stage. :) Go, Alysha!
