    barred from graduating college due to pregnancy

    WTF?

    Here we had and have programs to help women in that situation!

    USA is such a shitty country.

      It was 1959 and it was because the schools wouldn’t let her be a student teacher, a requirement for graduation which is…

      Very 1959 America.

        OK then the headline is wrong, because 2025 -60 is 1965.
        Incredibly backwards 20 years after WW2 where women became way more accepted in work and education.

        Anyways congratulations and kudos to her for taking it now. 👍
