It tells girl that they always need to cover up because if something happens to you , it’s your fault. Never mind that the boys can walk around with no shirt or sometimes no pants. But if a man can’t control himself it’s the girl”s fault. Poor training on the school part
So.. it’s ok for males to walk around with their penises hanging out..ok if not penises what about testicles. I’m just asking though
@DB Lewis not one of these girls had anything “hanging out ” , none of the pics were inappropriate .
@cindy You avoided the question, are penises in yearbooks bad?
@Doug H So you are trying to compare cleavage to a penis? How so? Let’s begin with the boys in the speedos had no shirts on and were showing their whole upper body, where as the girls were showing a bit of cleavage. Stick to the subject matter instead of moving the goal post.
@Afaf Benhara Girls aren’t controlling themselves? Are you kidding me? I think we found who the uneducated one is. If you honestly believe that women don’t have hormones or strong sexual urges, then you are in serious need of education.
As for “pretending boobs aren’t sexual in nature”, let me ask you — when was the last time you were turned on by the sight of an old man with sagging boobs?
Excellent presentation thank you.
I would’ve also mentioned the double standard of that EXACT SAME yearbook having a full-body photo of two boys in Speedos
Jeff Swartz boys should not be posing in speedo as porn star! And should check their hormones for imbalance
@Jeff Swartz you took that to a whole different level by being overdramatic with your wording. Now you look bAAAd. 🥴
@kilo kola I hope you have 0 daughters and 15 sons then.
@Deborah Freedman it’s not stupid it’s common sense, it’s called being discreet, if a woman has to feed her baby she can do it discreetly. People love to oppose something just to be contrary, if society were the opposite and they pushed for women to feed their babies in public you would come with a contrarian argument saying they’re being exploited or something, you’d find a way to be against it,
@Afaf Benhara Do you realize that back in Victorian times when women wore high collared long sleeved dresses that flowed to the floor, men got turned on by seeing an exposed ankle? So I guess back then those shameless hussies were parading their ankles right? But guys in speedos are not parading anything.
Where do you get the idea that women do not have strong sexual urges, did someone tell you that myth? The major difference is woman are taught from a young age to wait, and boys are taught if the girl doesn’t wait she’s flawed. But it is not his responsibility to wait, he can even lie to the female in order to get what he wants. So yeah women are taught to control their urges and men are taught their urges are not their responsibility. So therefor men have stronger urges. No actually women internalize their urges so much it screws with their self worth, their body image all sorts of things that the boys don’t have to contend with because their urges are not flawed!
Sounds like the teachers are just projecting their own fetishes and guilt onto the kids – in a state economy built upon beach vacations.
@Afaf Benhara You must not have heard SE Cupp. She dressed very “modestly” but was still hit on by a sexual predator teacher. Think maybe, just MAYBE we should be going after the sex pervs instead of the innocent girls?
Why blame the teachers? I doubt it was the teachers who insisted on these edits. More likely the administration or the School Board. I’m pretty sure teachers don’t have that kind of clout when it comes to the yearbook contents.
@FactsarenotdirtyFwords Yes! Exactly! Why are so many people justifying the pervs and shaming the innocent girls?
@Dawn it’s been going on forever. Time to make a change.
And yet they were quite happy with the pics of the boys wearing Speedos!!!!
These kids want yearbooks. Not refunds. They want, and deserve, the memories. The school should have the yearbooks redone with the actual photos that were taken and stop being controlling asshats.
Excellent point!
@Gio & Hayden Podcast
No, it is not troll.
@Mott Hoople 😂 I would b****
@Gio & Hayden Podcast <---report filth like this for spam.
@Gio & Hayden Podcast here we see Gio and Hayden get cyber flogged for being publicly pathetic. Good for you who did!
Guaranteed the ones behind the “cover up” are all bible thumpin’ conservatives, best known for heaping shame upon and demonizing the normal develpment of young human bodies.
Interesting how hector temoved himself completely from the comments section Every one of his replies.
If it was guaranteed then you can guarantee! That CNN would of used it against them. Except they didn’t which can only mean one thing. Democrats are the ones who did this.
@jasiel morales Why are all you qanon cultist about what aboutisms. What about q anon eating too much cosmic pizza. what would it be like if qanon greene grew a brain.
@Sam Mendez go to night school. You need it and I’m sure it’s free in your state
@jasiel morales Why your cognitive abilties to understand english diminished Sorry that was simple english. Your lack of understanding is not other peoples fault . So sad damen/haag / etc etc. Just another putin parlor troll.
How about they remake the yearbook with the unaltered pictures and give it to the students.
Second
The GOP is not renown to push for ‘equalitian’ treatment of genders…
@Matthew Thompson takes one to know one, I presume …🤔
@Ann Noelanders At this point, I’m convinced that QAnon was just them projecting their own sick behavior onto their enemies.
@GPlumbob could well be 😳
@Doug H Why do you assume the prude, who mucked up the photos, wasn’t a liberal?
@Demetria Karnavas Probably not. The “cover her up” crowd doesn’t seem to have a problem with breasts; it has a problem with women. If you doubt that, then ask yourself this — how many times have you seen a shirtless man whose breasts are far larger than many small-breasted women? It’s the same anatomy — fatty tissue, skin, areola, and nipple — but it’s illegal to display only if the owner is female.
The level of stupidity is amazing with some school systems.
@Andrew Walker. . .”If teachers and Principals were smart they would not be teachers or Principals.” Did you give that any thought before you wrote that? Damn that’s dumb.
@Mott Hoople You do realize that you are explaining away a dress code…. for children! Geezus🙄
It’s not the system so much as it’s the people in the position of making the rules. Finantics shouldn’t be allowed power.
@Truf Telar If the dress was modest enough for the school’s dress code, why wasn’t it modern enough for the self-appointed censor?
@Deborah Freedman Again… whats the point of displaying cleavage?
I want The View to replace Meghan McCain with SE Cupp. She does a much more thoughtful job of presenting a conservative viewpoint. As someone who is absolutely not conservative I tune in to hear what SE Cupp has to say because she makes me think.
Good idea, I feel the same and I like to listen to her although I do not always agree.
Well, their really good friends, so I doubt that would happen unless Meghan left on her own free will.
@Nera Kar Yes, I do realize that she is not a conservative, and value her opinion wherever she lands on the right.
I will not watch that show as long as that fool mccain is on it.
Lower case intended.
@Nera Kar Sorry honey, but SE Cupp is a conservative. She’s on CNN to give the other point of view. She’s anti-Trump, but then Trump is not conservative, and many real conservatives, like William Kristol and Charlie Sykes, are also anti-Trump.
Handmaids Tale ….. I thought we used to fight the Taliban … not become them
America 2024: The Taliban’s second coming… this may be what we see in documentaries in 30 years.
The lack of respect they have for the girls and their families was made even more evident by the sheer, ugly, lazy implementation of the photoshopping
it’s sexism at work here
If it was ok to wear to school, then its ok for the yearbook.
Exactly. Also, if the photos of swim team boys in speedos are appropriate for the year book, there should be no question that the girls outfits were, too.
I guess u makes sense
clearly, the woman who photoshopped the 80 girls doesn’t agree w/ the school’s dress code … for girls.
she’s gross, lacks judgment, hid her work from the administration (“80” takes time), and should be removed from the school and teaching.
The only justification for this is that it makes the girls look younger. This is okay in the sense that they are younger. However, with the fetish for young girls on the rise the idea that some of the girls with their cleavage look too old for some of these sicko teachers and they need to be altered to look younger is just appalling.
Google what Afghanistan looked like in 1972. We may follow soon. Scary.
Only “red” states. NYC is topless legal
People in Florida…….act as if they are from other planet.
That’s why I stay away from Florida even though the state is a Tax Heaven.
It’s the Victorian age again men can enjoy it but women have to cover it up!
Once again, it’s women’s fault when MEN can’t keep it in their pants, or keep their hormones under control.
WOW.
These are the same people who point to women wearing hijab and yell about how this practice is driven by a sexist repressive society. I guess it’s the degree of repression that matters because young women couldn’t possibly be capable of deciding how much to show and young men can’t be taught to control their urges when shown bare skin or hair
they’re so afraid of sharia law that they’re bringing christian version to US
In other words, is a Christian dominated school, with twisted, self-serving Trump-like ethics and morality: whatever they do or believe in, it’s good and the right thing. Whatever others do — others included these girls — they need to be judged for appropriateness, correctness, moral degrees, etc. THAT is how religious people act, especially Christians conservatives.
It’s Florida. A state that finds it perfectly acceptable for a congressman to diddle children. For an islamophobic state it’s rather peculiar to see that the only dresses acceptable to the Republican ayatollah would confirm to Koran rules.
It’s the christian sharia and it’s in full swing in places like tAlabama and Florididdle.
The GQP want a Handmaid’s Tale society and they’ll burn down the entire country to get it.
Who said it was okay for congressman to do that and How do you substantiate an argument that the state of Florida is “Islamaphobic?”
“OK girls,it’s gymnastics tomorrow,don’t forget your trench coats.”
