Another Young American Woman We Admire

Alysha Cosby, the AntiCentenarian salutes you. Your scholarly accomplishment and strength are admirable :

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 of her 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."
...
"I worked hard throughout high school and I wanted to walk with my class," she said.
...
The father of Cosby's child, also a senior at the school, was allowed to participate in graduation.

It's all her fault- she should be punished. She's the one who got pregnant, anyway, isn't she?

It's a shame that we are forced to hilight women who have to fight the system because they are women [in other words, their female-ness is absolutely inherent in these asinine conflicts they are forced to take up against the system].
