Weird News of the Day
Is this CNN article an April Fool’s joke?
Ms. Wheelchair stripped of title for standing upAPPLETON, Wisconsin (AP) — Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin has been stripped of her title because pageant officials say she can stand — and point to a newspaper picture as proof.
Janeal Lee, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a scooter, was snapped by The Post-Crescent newspaper standing among her high school math students.
“I’ve been made to feel as if I can’t represent the disabled citizens of Wisconsin because I’m not disabled enough,” Lee said Thursday.
So we know that being able to stand is grounds for disqualification, but what about if a disabled woman uses a set of robotic legs or tank-style treads?
