Breastfeeding Breaks Denied
A student at Harvard about to start her residency lost a court battle asking for extra time to pump breast milk during a national clinical test.
The test is made of 2 9 hour sessions broken up by 45 minute breaks. While it wold be difficult to pump milk in that time, it is possible.The judge denied the injunction to require the testing board to give her a 60 minute break.
Sophia Currier, accused the board of gender discrimination and violating her constitutional rights. Judge Patrick Brady did not find a problem that was worthy of injunction.
Currier cannot begin her residency until she passes the test.
Currier’s attorney claims that women are being screened out and being forced to choose being a professional or a mother. He claims its unjust, unfair, and against public interest.
