An Ina-PROP-priate Senior Picture Addition?
Permalink  

A North Carolina senior took a senior portrait last summer that included her son ("That year, Wheatmore High School students were allowed to be photographed with a prop of their choice. Their only directions: 'Bring something that represents you and helped you achieve something.' For Tiller, then a 17-year-old junior, it was a no-brainer: She brought her 3-month old son, Leelin." ).  

On April 12, two days before the yearbooks went to press, Tiller received a call from the school's yearbook adviser. "She said I had to take a different photo because the one I took promoted teen pregnancy," said Tiller.

Do you think the school's response was appropriate?

The school's response was not appropriate and the picture should be allowed to stay.

I agree with Ejike. It doesn't promote teen pregnancy. It simply shows her pride in her son. I am not a supporter of teen pregnancy, but I do see the beauty in this. She simply loves her son, and wants him to be part of her high school memorbilia, since he has been a huge part of her high school experience.

I think that the photo should be allowed. I think it shows that you can be strong and courageous among various trials that you face. IE teen pregnancy.

If they didn't specify what could or couldn't bring i think that's the schools fault for making the mistake. That they should let her have her special memory in the yearbook.

I still think the photo should be banned, number one a baby isn't a prop, and number two SHE screwed up so who cares if she isn't allowed to have that picture. Parents do not want to send their kids to a school that has kids getting pregnant...it's not about whether it promotes teen pregnancy what it says is that the school believes it is acceptable which it obviously doesn't believe it is. Whether you think it does or not other people and concerned parents will believe it promotes teen pregnancy so sorry girl who can't keep her legs closed you don't have my support.

I feel that the schools response was right, they should not be endorsing these things, but on the other hand its not like shes hurting anyone. and for her to be able to accept her mistake and then move on and make the best of it. she should be able to have freedom.
