This is at least the second such story out of Florida in the last couple of years. This year — 2005, not 1955 — high school principal Sam Ward at Fleming Island High School in Clay County, Florida, has decided that the high school yearbook will not publish the photo of a senior young woman who had her picture taken in a “tuxedo” top instead of a “drape” top.
The mind boggles at this guy’s stupidity. How is he 50 years behind? Why on earth are the students not rising up in protest? This kind of idiocy from adults, and apathy / “good soldier” behavior from students is why I will never, ever live in the South again.

i lived there for 18 years of my life, and things are never going to change in that area… the area in whole is like that eagle harbor doesn’t harbor anything but the old traditions to include racism. They are living like freedom doesn’t exist… this is a public school, and should be allowed to invite any type of culture or ethnic into its society without discrimination… to include the clothing a young women decides to wear…
