Showing Original Post only (View all)Pregnant Teen Banned From Walking at High School Graduation [View all]
HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- An 18-year-old Maryland high school student has been banned from walking at her high school graduation ceremony because she is pregnant, WTTG reports.
Maddi Runkles attends Heritage Academy, a private Christian school in Maryland, and the school says she violated its code of conduct by having premarital sex.
Runkles is one of 15 seniors in her class and will be the only one not allowed to walk because she is pregnant.
Its like a small school and it is such a big deal and I am the only one that is not going to be there that night to walk to the stage, she told the station.
