Colorado Student- Banned "Inappropriate" Senior Photo

Con Argued: " She's 18. Clearly the girl is not naive. Especially if you see the other pictures of her on the internet. She clearly knew what she was doing when she posed like that. "- (There are many teens who are very Naive. .. .hello teen pregnancy? Also, I think that yes on some level she was very aware, but I think the school was EXTEMELY vague. . http://dhs.durangoschools.org... if you look on their site there is NO link for "Senior Photo Regulations" or "Senior Photo Requirements. " I went to Spencerport High School: . http://www.spencerportschools.org...Heres our "Senior Portrait Requirements"- "When ordering your senior portraits, please adhere to thefollowing guidelines when choosing which shot you would like included in the2012 yearbook: Digitalfiles on disk are preferred, as their quality in the yearbook will be muchhigher than if you submit a hard copy Pictures may be color, black and white, or sepia Digital files should be at least 600 x 750pixels. That is 2” x 2 ½” @ 300 dpi. Hard copies should be at least 2” x 2 ½” Hands, props, and outdoor shots are acceptable Any vertical pose (we recommend a head andshoulders pose)"Why is that Durango High had nothing? ? I dont care how old anyone is, if they want discipline set rules/requlations and/or Requirements. Its the only way for structure, with being said they have no right to be "offended" because they didnt set the boundaries. Please give me a break, if it were me I would totally take legal action. Heres an idea, discipline the students with rules and structure. Con Argued:"For the record, what you quoted was not from the first amendment, but from article 19 of the Declaration of Human Rights as it says on the wiki page. "- Okay, you are not understanding this at all I see. Which is fine I love a challenge. Clearly everyone knows that Freedom of Speech is human right, correct? I have decided to change my source due to the fact people can change whatever they want on wiki. I found this site: . http://www.aclu.org...: I want to point out this quote "Freedom of speech, of the press, of association, of assembly and petition -- this set of guarantees, protected by the First Amendment, comprises what we refer to as freedom of expression. " <---- Do I HAVE TO GO ON? ? (*Comprise= Consist of; be made up of: "the country comprises twenty states". Make up; constitute. *) Con Argued:"In that case anyone who wants to put up pornographic pictures of children can. People can feel free to show gruesome pictures of severed dog's heads in store windows. Let's just put up pictures of vaginas and penises everywhere. Can you say that's wrong if someone feels that that is art? "- That's exactly what I'm saying, and theres plenty of photos I have seen that are of children between the ages of 16+ (they are extremely artistic, and extremely gorgeous. ) I also have a friend who is a developing photographer who recently took an artisic photo of roadkill. See you're not getting it yet, I do NOT agree with censorship. I don't see the need to "mute" everything out there. If a child asks a parent after walking in on an inappropriate show with sex and they ask "mommy/daddy what were they doing? " What are you going to say? "Oh honey they were "wrestling" " dude seriously? If you want to debate Censorship please give me the challenge. Con Argued:"Would you want your high school daughters looking and posing like that? "- If there is no requirement I would find it perfectly fine. I would've re-thought the stomach showing but other than that, it would be fine by me. Again, freedom of expression, I can't defend that enough. Con Argued:"Lots of people, including me, would deem such expression and skimpy clothing shocking, disgraceful, and improper in a school environment. So no, calling is scandalous is not a stretch by any means. "- Again, where are the requirements? So until then it's not scandalous. If you want to see a scandal I suggest you look up some politic guys who have been not so hot in the last year. Or even the Casey Anthony case. Con Argued:" I personally think she's a spoiled brat who is upset because she didn't get her way. "- Actually, if you read more about it she's not upset. "She is trying to make it ok for high school girls to look slutty in senior photos. "- Theres so much judgment in this I don't even know where to start. (I just want to note that "homophobia" refers to having a range of negative attitudes and/or feelings towards homosexuality. Maybe surpressing Homosexuality is what you are refering to.
