Durango, CA –With her yearbook picture being rejected for being too revealing, a teenager from Colorado says she will fight the decision.  The Colorado teen said the ban of her photo infringed on her freedom of expression.  Spies was dressed in a short yellow skirt with a strapless, black midriff top.  Spies, her mother, and some other supporters protested outside the school on Wednesday.  The mother, Miki Spies, said the administration told her the outfit violated the school’s dress code.  Durango High School’s student editors said that it was their decision not to include the picture as a senior picture.  They gave Spies the opportunity to include the picture in her senior ad, the section of a yearbook where teens or parents can buy a portion of a page and include pictures and text about their student.  The following statement was issued by the Durango School District to ABCNews.com,  “The editors of Durango High School’s yearbook informed a senior student in December that her photo in question would not be included as a senior portrait in the yearbook and asked her to submit a replacement.   Durango School District 9-R’s administration supports this decision.”  The spies family said they would meet with a lawyer to review the case.  After seeing the photo at http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/colorado-student-banned-yinearbook-over-racy-photo-201606793–abc-news.html I agree with the student editors and the administration.  The picture is inappropriate for a high school yearbook.  I would probably not have let her include it at all.  Schools are able to limit a student’s self expression in many ways.  Gang attire and inappropriate slogans on T-shirts are not allowed.  At one high school I worked at, students could only wear hats that were one of the school colors.  The fact that the school has to tell the student that the picture is inappropriate is sad.  The parents should have censored their daughter.  Now limited school resources will be wasted fighting this battle.
