Mooresville, NC --

We have altered this picture from Lake Norman High School's yearbook...so you can't see the young woman's face...or the area, causing so much controversy.

The school district says the girl was 18-years-old. She's sitting with last year's graduating class...smiling, dressed in her cap and gown and her legs are open.

One mom, who didn't want her face shown, says she believes the student is exposing her genitals on purpose.

"When it was brought to my attention from my child that, was the first thing. I was appalled! I was like, 'oh my God, this is exactly what it is," said the mom.

Her children told her, as soon as the yearbook came out...everyone in school knew.

"It was going all over the school. In every block, I think people were texting each other turn to page 14," said the mom.

Of course it matters what people think they have seen, especially when there may be no opportunity to correct their perception.
Just look at what is going on with this picture.

It does matter of course, what the reality is. But in imagery perception is crucial, and as the meme goes, what has been seen cannot be unseen. So the perception of gross impropriety should be avoided. Publications are supposed to be proofed before publishing, and it shouldn’t have been difficult to avoid this whole thing.

I don’t know why you put in that nonsense about what is wrong or not, that isn’t what I was talking about. But since you brought it up, wrong is wrong, regardless of what people think they see.
