Formal Protest
Jessica Urbina, a student at Sacred Heart Cathedral High School in San Francisco, Calif., won’t be appearing in the school’s yearbook this year. Female students are required to wear a dress for their portraits, but Urbina instead wore a tuxedo. “As we prepare to pass out yearbooks, it is always regretful when a student portrait is omitted for any reason,” the school announced in a written statement. “As a community we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that all students are included in the future” by amending the policy. Both male and female students protested Urbina’s deletion from the yearbook — by wearing neckties to school. (RC/KTVU Oakland) ...The vicious rebels!Original Publication Date: 08 June 2014
