Durango, CO -- 18-year-old Sydney Spies was told she could not use the photo above as her yearbook portrait because it was too racy. Your initial thought is...the administration put the kibosh on it, right? Nope.
“The administration really had nothing to do with it,” said Tevan Trujillo, a student yearbook editor. “It was us.” “If she chooses to, the picture will run as her senior ad, not her senior portrait,” Trujillo said.
“We are an award-winning yearbook. We don’t want to diminish the quality with something that can be seen as unprofessional,” Brian Jaramillo said.
You know those popular award-winning yearbook folk.
“I can tell the kids all of the things that will happen if they run it and all of the things that will happen if we don’t run it,” Yearbook adviser Tammy Schreiner said. “But I know that if I personally pulled it, I would be as guilty of censorship as anyone else.”
So, Tammy didn't pull it. But, if she did, she would be 'as guilty of censorship as anyone else.'
OK?
