School Defends Decision To Ban Teen From Grad Because She's Pregnant
A Maryland teen has been banned from attending her high school graduation because she’s pregnant.
Grade 12 student Maddi Runkles found out she was pregnant in January and immediately informed her school, Heritage Academy. Unfortunately, the news did not sit well with the Christian school, who then barred her from walking at her grad ceremony next month.
Principal David R. Hobbs has since defended the Academy’s decision. In a statement to the family on Tuesday, he wrote, “Maddi is being disciplined, not because she’s pregnant, but because she was immoral.”
