Sophie Currier, the Harvard Medical School student who sued for extra time to take an exam because she is currently breast-feeding, will have to wait a little longer to take that exam.
Although judge Gary Katzmann gave Currier extra break time to handle her business, the Crimson reports that the Massachusetts appeals court has "temporarily voided" Katzmann's ruling because of an appeal from the National Board of Medical Examiners.
The judges are supposed to make a final decision by October 10. Bostonist posted on this earlier because it looked as if all these decisions were being made by men who can't breast-feed and therefore have no clue what might happen if Currier can't express milk at certain times.
A tipper let us know that Currier has a blog, accomodatenursing.blogspot.com. The tipper also noted that Currier can't spell "accommodate." We'll just assume she's got a lot on her mind. The blog is invite-only, and we'd like to get an invite, as we don't know anything about breast-feeding and are therefore neutral. (We also try to avoid knowing anything about test-taking.)
Adam Reilly at the Phoenix gained access to Currier's blog (or read it before she turned it "invite-only") and found that the comments were strongly anti-Currier. Reilly, who attended high school with Currier, also advised, "Sophie, it's time to take it down a notch."
