Florida High School Edited Girls' Yearbook Photos To Cover More Of Their Chests

Dozens of female students at the school were surprised to see that their yearbook photos had been digitally edited without their consent to add more clothing.

www.npr.org

Censor, suppress, and Photoshop 80 women, but no men?
REALLY!?!
WTF!?!

Partial SNIP...
"It's not odd for there to be a little drama when high school yearbooks are released at the end of the year, but at Bartram Trail High School in St. Johns County, Fla., the drama has reached national attention.

That's because 80 of the students' portraits were digitally edited — many of them clumsily — to add more clothing to chests and shoulders.

All of the students are female. None of them were consulted.

Students and parents told local news outlets that they were shocked and embarrassed when they got their copies of the $100 yearbook last week."

Heinous.
Both the motivation and the implementation are heinous.
Good grief. Those girls and their parents have every right to be fuming!

What a bunch of censoring BS. We're back to shoulders and chests being too tempting for any male to resist? Who comes up with this sh*t? I don't even know any males who would be turned on by a yearbook picture!

Yearbook garb of the future.

Of course men can wear whatever they like.

Glad to see the double standard is alive and well.

I hope the parents sue the h*ck out of this school board.

This is dangerous. IMO.

There are a number of issues going regarding dress codes in general.

IMO Dress codes can do the following.

Objectify women's bodies.
Body shame and are sexist.
Police women's bodies.
All unacceptable.

And at the other end of the spectrum and also unacceptable.

Discriminating based on one's identifying gender.
For example, not allowing male students to wear nail polish or long hair is ridiculous IMO.
No reason to have different dress codes for different genders.
That is discrimination.

There is no educational value in schools demanding dress codes that are different for each gender.
Dress codes, if they must exist at certain schools, should be gender neutral.
One's right to self expression should not depend on one's gender.

Traditional dress codes punish marginalized students.

And let's bring race into this discussion.
It is not OK to say one cannot wear one's hair as they please for example.


If one must have dress codes they need to be:

Gender neutral
Anti racist
Anti sexist

Students should not be marginalized based on race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or other identity markers.

Period.
