Colorado Student Banned from Yearbook Over Racy Photo
Yahoo ^ | 1/7/12 | Katie Kindelan [ABC News Blog]

Posted on 01/07/2012 4:12:02 PM PST by Lmo56

A Colorado teenager whose yearbook picture was rejected for being too revealing is vowing to fight the ban with her high school’s administration, but the editors of the yearbook insist it was their decision alone on the photo.

The five student editors of the Durango High School yearbook in Durango, Col., told the Durango Herald they were the ones who made the call not to publish a picture of senior Sydney Spies posing in a short yellow skirt midriff and shoulder-exposing black shawl as her senior portrait.

“We are an award-winning yearbook. We don’t want to diminish the quality with something that can be seen as unprofessional,” student Brian Jaramillo told the paper on Thursday.

Spies was joined by her mother, Miki Spies, and a handful of fellow Durango High students and alumni in a protest outside the school Wednesday after, she said, administrators informed her the photo would not be permitted because it violated dress code.

“I feel like they aren’t allowing me to have my freedom of expression,” Spies told the Herald. ”I think the administration is wrong in this situation, and I don’t want this to happen to other people.”

The five editors, who said their decision was unanimous, said Spies’ blame was misplaced, in both targeting the administration, and believing that it was a dress code issue.

They also offered her an opportunity to include the photo in the yearbook, just not as her senior photo.

This reminds me of the middle school girls I see in the shopping mall in the summer, wearing skimpy shorts with the word `Juicy’ written across the rear.
The yearbooks editors are right. The students can dress like hookers if they want in public, but not for a yearbook photo. In loco parentis and all that.

You go, girl!

Fight to lower that bar.

Keep degrading standards and debasing our culture.

Whatever it takes to make you F-A-M-O-U-S!!

That’s what counts.

Excellent point.

That is the critical difference between conservatives and libertarians.

Libertarians want no restrictions and code of ethics.

Conservatives want as much freedom as possible with voluntary restraint so that some governing authority doesn’t control our behavior for us.

Could be worse but I question the judgement of the parents. When I took graduation photos for my nieces last spring, the girls dressed like they had a little class.

Laz made a New Years resolution not to “hit” anything on FR this year. True story.

I see some type of association with Ron Jeremy in her future.

The article states that her peers (student editors) made the call. The high school students demonstrated more class and decor that the parents.

With America falling apart, with a hellishly corrupt President, Yahoo publishes a story like this? Barf.

Looks like they already are. Look up the company name on the photos. They are on FB and describe what they are all about.
