An Illinois high school has refused to allow a graduate, who is also a U.S. Marine, walk across the stage in her uniform.
Marine Corps Pvt. Megan Howerton finished her studies at McHenry West High School early to start her career as a Marine, according to WLS-TV.
When she returned to join her classmates to graduate, she wasn’t allowed to walk with the class.
The reason: She chose to wear her uniform instead of the traditional cap and gown.
