Florida School Edits Girls' Yearbook Photos To Hide Their Chests

Dozens of girls discovered that their photos had been altered to add more clothing.

A Florida high school sparked an outcry from students and parents after it digitally altered female students’ yearbook pictures to cover up their chests and shoulders. At least 80 images of girls were edited in the yearbook for Bartram Trail High School, located just south of Jacksonville. No pictures of boys were edited, including an image of the swim team in which male students were shown wearing Speedo bathing suits, student Riley O’Keefe and parents who saw the yearbook said per The New York Times. Although the school said the images were edited because the girls were in violation of the school’s dress code, students and parents criticized the policy, calling it outdated, damaging and sexist.
