Local teen discriminated against for pregnancy December 3, 2009

How lovely. Fort Worth has made the national news yet again for something sexist…Arlington Heights High School senior Mackenzie McCollum was first kicked off of the volleyball team and then allowed back on but with playing time cut for being pregnant.
