Teachers at Wasatch High School have sparked outrage after they manipulated pictures of some female pupils so that they looked less sexy.
The first the students knew about the digital changes, however, was when they opened up the yearbook to find they were wearing different outfits.
“I feel like they put names in a hat and pick and choose who,” sophomore Rachel Russel, who had black sleeves added to her top in her image, told Fox 8. “I now feel like they think I’m a slut.”
“There were plenty of girls (who) were wearing thicker tank tops and half of them got edited and half of them didn’t,” senior Melanie Gastin said.
Fellow sophomore Kimberly Montoya also had her shoulders covered up with a white top.
What appeared to anger those affected the most, however, was the apparently random editing process.
In one case, two girls wearing nearly identical tops saw one of them altered and the other not, according to Fox 8.
Wasatch County School District Superintendent Terry E. Shoemaker defended the decision, and said that the yearbook would not be re-printed.
“Our young women will not look sexy in their yearbook photos. That is something I have control over. I’m the Superintendent,” Shoemaker told Fox 8.
Shoemaker also encouraged people to stop sharing the story on social media.
