Not PC submitted this link to a news report that the Virginia Military Institute now has its first pregnant female cadet, and it has stirred up a lot of controversy. The Naval Academy policy states that "Pregnancy and parenthood impose significant responsibilities and demands upon midshipmen which are incompatible with service as midshipmen" but the woman (who was not identified in the article) was given three options for living quarters to accommodate her needs. Even women who have attended VMI gave disapproval of this situation, and feel she should either leave or be suspended during the pregnancy. One of them said "Cadets can accumulate demerits and wind up suspended essentially for being late for class and not shining their shoes, and yet this woman is far more irresponsible and gets 'almost preferential treatment.'"
