Beauty pageant winner scorned for being a mom

SOUTH CAROLINA

Elizabeth Wright was thrilled when she was named Miss Chapin High, but her moment was spoiled when people jeered at her because she is also a teen mom.

Wright has also been banned from competing in the Miss South Carolina teen pageant because she's a mother, and she says that's discrimination.

"I personally think if I have a baby and I can't do a pageant, then if you've had sex you can't do a pageant," Wright said.

While Wright will not be competing in her state's /*Miss Teen*/ pageant, she has her hands full with her baby and her school work.
