Shopped Sleeves

Some Wasatch, Utah, High School girls were surprised by their yearbook photos, which didn’t show them dressed as they’d been when the pictures were taken. Officials had some of the photos edited to make their clothing less revealing. But only some of the photos. “Half of them got edited and half of them didn’t,” said student Rachel Russel. Superintendent Terry E. Shoemaker saw nothing wrong in dressing girls to his taste without even telling them. “We only apologize in the sense that we want to be more consistent with what we’re trying to do,” he said. “We can help kids better prepare for their future by knowing how to dress appropriately for things.” (AC/KTSU Salt Lake City) ...That’s why we teach them that if they don’t dress appropriately, their photos will be changed to look as if they did.
