"Wrongheaded or not, isn't it the school's administration that has the ultimate authority over this yearbook?"

This is the same 'basic' issue as the WTC sculpture. The actual photo/entry as submitted, or a PC version that satisfies the political 'AGENDA'. The 'original entry' was chosen as the contest winner; however, a later determination of its UN-PCness necessitates that the 'winner' modify the 'winner' or become a loser.(So much for the school 'self-esteem' thing)

In the WTC sculpture 'flap', over 405,000 people signed an online petition to preserve the 'TRUTH'.

IMHO, We, the people, have the final say over school yearbooks---Will we say anything?

I fully agree that it's PC stupidity, but on what grounds would a federal court force the school to print the original design? I can certainly understand contacting the school to voice disagreement with the decision, but it's their yearbook and their call. I just can't see why the federal courts would have a say.

Judicial activism is no less wrong when it serves conservative causes. This girl learned a sad lesson about the state of modern public schools, but her rights weren't violated.
