You know what they say: boys will be boys, until a pregnant school administrator is pushed to the ground, and then they're a-holes.

A fight on the basketball courts Miami Palmetto Senior High Thursday became dangerous for Assistant Principal Jennifer Ledesma when, according to the police report, a student named Jerald Brown ignored her commands and those of school security guards to stop. In the process of charging classmate Tramichael Lenard, Brown bumped into Ledesma and knocked her to the ground.

Ledesma is seven months pregnant.

Fears for the baby's safety can apparently be quelled; the police report notes a bruised hip as Ledesma's only injury. But the child probably won't be named "Jerald" or "Jeraldine" or "Tramichaela": Brown is charged with battery on a pregnant female and disruption of a school activity.

Being seven months pregnant is not covered by the act, nor is being pregnant cause to be on "desk duty," since pregnancy is NOT a disability. And please read the article again - as shoddy as the reporting is on this site, it does indicate that the assailant bumped into the AP, and it does not state that she was trying to break up the fight. But I guess by your reasoning, she was asking for it by having the nerve to show up to work pregnant!

Also why would a pregnant even try to break up a fire especially with security or other adults around. LOL love the security at american schools these days. With gang rapes outside school dances, pregnant women breaking up fights really what great education & safety we give our kids. "}],"error":"","totPages":1}
