It would seem to me that this young woman could do whatever she darn well
chose during her lunch time or study hall periods, she would only need to
find a clean and private place to pump during the school day.  If I were in
her shoes, I'd begin by asking any trusted female faculty members if I could
use their office twice during the school day to pump.  Perhaps this same
faculty member could write her a "late pass" if the student chooses to
arrive late to a class so she can pump (weighing the consequences of a late
arrival to class against the consequences of not breastfeeding her baby).
If the school continues to crack down on her in a way that is harder than
any regular latecomer (knowing she is pumping and making that the issue) she
could make a point of being treated "like everyone else" since that seems to
be the goal here.  She might also consider pursuing a doctor's note about
participation in gym class -- she should be afforded the chance to pump
before gym if she's going to be active for that hour and she is
uncomfortably full then.

I tend to be one who asks forgiveness instead of asking permission, and I've
found this works well when "the system" (in my case, an active duty,
mostly-male Army unit) wants to make an issue or set a precedent using me as
an example.  I generally take what I need and clarify the details later.
This girl can definitely pump during lunchtime.  Glorification of teen
motherhood?  I'd love to get my hands on the idiots that are assuming that.

Sorry, I'm a bit riled by this,
Diana in NY
