Colorado Student- Banned "Inappropriate" Senior Photo

"Is it fair to say we can be wrong? Like your thoughts of her intentions, is it fair you can be wrong? I mean this girl probably really thought it would be a pretty photo, it couldve been very innocent and now we are judging her??? Really, come on."- 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. 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. "It's freedom of expression, it shouldn't matter where that is!!"- 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? The point is that freedoms cannot come without limits and standards or there will be chaos and conflict of interest. It really behooves everyone to have some limits on freedoms. I don't want to see pictures of just anything or anyone put up around town, so I can deal with not being able to swear in some places or in some of my writing. "Do you REALLY think she's gonna wear that in public COME ON! I'm trying so hard to keep this clean but, that's just a STUPID thing to say. I wont even fight that, its just ridiculous."- It isn't stupid. If she wouldn't wear it in public, why would she want all of her classmates to see her in that? Wouldn't she not wear that in public because it is too revealing? It makes no sense to wear something you wouldn't wear in public in a senior picture when a senior picture is public. " I have SOME WORSE PHOTOS THAN THIS. Everyone is making this photo out to be like some PORNOGRAPHY come on. Its not all that. Its a short tube top, and a skirt. Get over it. A scandalous photo would be of her cooch.....clearly that's covered -___-"- Would you put those pictures on display for the world to see? Would you want your high school daughters looking and posing like that? scandalous- disgraceful; shameful or shocking; improper: scandalous behavior in public http://dictionary.reference.com... 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. " Freedom of expression that's all I have to say about it. I am not the type person to just bow down to society because I was told to do so. Is it a bad mind-set? Oh absolutely! But, its how I think. And, its refreshing to see someone (Sidney) who's not blind-sided by society. I credit her by being an individual."- Please. One can be an individual in this society and break out from the norm without looking slutty in a senior photo. I don't think she is worried about "not bowing down to society." I personally think she's a spoiled brat who is upset because she didn't get her way. Now I can't prove that, but that is my interpretation. If this is a freedom of expression issue, what is she trying to express? She is trying to make it ok for high school girls to look slutty in senior photos. That is not a message most of us want spread. We suppress expression all the time when we don't agree with the message. We suppress racism, sexism, homophobia, the list goes on and on. In America you are free to express new ideas and ideals, but when it goes against the morals of many Americans, it gets a bad rep. Most of America would find it immoral for a high school girl to dress like in a school environment. It is never as simple as "it's a freedom of expression issue."
