Try Not to Walk, Either

Miss Wheelchair Wisconsin was stripped of her title last week... and you'll love the reason...
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.
Well, that makes sense. Let's not encourage a woman in a wheelchair to make an effort to overcome some part of her disability.
