It's That Time of the Year -- Yearbook Controversy

I heard a local morning show talking about a yearbook photo that showed a 16-year-old girl sitting in the gym class without under pants.

They said that she didn't wear underwear because she didn't want the panty lines showing up in photos. And this girls mother wants all the yearbooks recalled. I'm not sure if they were recalled what they would. Cut the photo out? Put a decale over it? Take a black Sharpie and put a black box over the....photo.

What I want to know is this. Who would pay for the yearbooks being "fixed"? And...if the school doesn't recall the yearbooks, isn't that distributing "child pornography"?

And lastly...I want to know what this girls excuse was. In yearbook photos, they don't take pictures of your behind, so you don't have to worry about panty lines. They have photos of your face. Or in this photo, there were five people sitting down. And it was surprisingly that two girls had their legs crossed, the way women usually sit. But what a shocker. The one girl that didn't wear underwear, is the one sitting with her legs spread apart.

I think the school should suspend the girl, and of course, her parents would sue. Unless the girl can give a better explanation of why she didn't wear underpants...she should get the boot.

In a story in Phoenix, a heavy-set freshman girl had a worse surprise in the yearbook. Under her photo the words "fat ass" appeared.

That same yearbook mentioned another boys sexuality.

I heard a few shows on TV saying that the teacher that worked on the yearbook should be fired. And, I wouldn't necessarily say that. Perhaps she doesn't get to work on the yearbook anymore. And she needs to explain why everything isn't looked over more carefully, especially when kids have been doing these things for ages (usually not that mean spirited...but I remember photos from my high school where kids flipped off the camera, and they got in).

I remember my friend Bill wasn't allowed to wear his football jersey (#69) in the group photo. So, there are things you can do to keep this from happening.

The school is blaming the publishing company for not catching it.

Uh, yeah. That isn't going to fly. A publishing company doesn't hire editors to comb over the things, that's your job.

I think the school should get all the kids that worked on the yearbook and insist they take a lie detector test. I know the ACLU and parents of the kids, would all freak out. I'd tell the parents,"You give us a name. You guys figure out which kids were responsible for this."

And, if they don't cough a name up, every kid that worked on the yearbook staff would be expelled.

I'm tired of people going on and on about "students rights."

Sure, it's one thing if kids are trying to go into a dance and a teacher is frisking them or making them take their clothes off. That's wrong.

But when something happens and teachers are trying to get to the bottom of it...I believe they should have the right to search your locker, your back-pack, or even lie detector tests.
