Doyle Byrnes, a nursing student who was ousted over posting a photo of herself on the internet holding a placenta, is eager to continue her education at Johnson County Community College now that a judge has ruled she can return to school.
The Kansas City Star reported that the judge U.S. District Judge Eric F. Melgren shot down every argument, legal and otherwise, that the college had used to justify its ousting of Byrnes last fall, preventing her from graduating on schedule in May.
“It was a nice change,” a smiling Byrnes said of the sweeping ruling. “Finally, someone reasonable is making the decision about my future.”
