Why was the photo approved of and included in the first place ?
When I was in high school, many seniors, as a cruel joke, voting for one of the ugliest and fattest girls in class as the Homecoming Queen. Years later, I found out from a teacher, the girl “won” but the teachers knew it was a farce and excluded her votes. The girl with 2nd most number of votes “won” the coveted title and was named Homecoming Queen.
High school students are dumb. Teachers, at one time, were voiced of reason and checks on students behavior. Now they have become enablers and they wouldn’t want to stifle the students personality or growth.
Teachers, with a few choice exceptions, are dumb.
That was my question. Apparently the faculty advisor thought the picture was ok, which makes me question the judgement of that advisor. I guess she or he thought no one but the kids ever look at the yearbook, so what does it matter? Or maybe he or she just wanted to include some 'diversity' in the yearbook.
