ashamed of themselves.

There is another girl in the school called Isis Phillips.

And corrected ones issued.

Every single year book ought to be returned and reprinted. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

So....is there or is there not another student (who may look similar) named Isis? The story doesn't say. You'd think that would be easily verified. Not that that is a great excuse, especially considering the possible connotations of that name, but I could see that it could have been an actual mistake if that were the case.

If there really is another student named Isis Phillips, it's not really that hard to imagine this was an honest mistake on somebodies part. Not saying it WAS, but it could've been. Hopefully, the truth will out.

That student transferred away partway through the school-year.

According to ABC7, local news.

person to reply and actually read the article. No one else above you did.

Isis is a common and beautiful name. Sadly, erased from most search engines. If you query just for 'Isis', you'll get on google and bing, nothing about the Egyptian goddess, except in the image searches where sexualization of that character has kept it around somewhat.

I know an Isis, and she is wonderful.

sure, her photo looks like it might be associated with that word in some tangential cultural way. If it had been swapped with 'Billy Anderson' someone might have caught it, but feminine name, female, cultural accoutrements of some part of the middle east, yeah. Probably got the nod because it fit all parameters and raised no flags. That's unfortunate and sad, but we're separated by the realities of what ISIS is, by thousands of miles, days of reporting lag and distortion, etc.

If it was malicious, I don't think the name would have been someone from the school. Certainly the last name would have been something more insulting than 'Phillips'. They also might have capitalized ISIS. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Just like "Phillips" is associated with headscarves in a tangential cultural way.

Anybody pissed off that a Muslim girl was called "Isis" must also account for why they somehow thought her last name was "Phillips". Is that some sort of slur? Is there some horrible crime associated with the dregs of Muslim society by the name of "Phillips"?

How's this?

"My name is Zehlevi, but I guess I'm Phillips in the yearbook." It's 100% as accurate a statement, but somehow doesn't show sensitivity and a desire to be outraged.

BTW, this report made it around the world as an example of Muslim-hatred. How, exactly, calling her "Phillips" wasn't at issue. The assumption is that if she's called "Isis" she might just as easily been called "Isil."

That Isis is a perfectly fine name, even coupled with "Phillips" is shown in a simple web search. There's an "Isis Phillips" (not the same girl, by any means) that is the financial manager for that reactionary hate show (I have to assume) called "Democracy Now." http://www.democracynow.org/about/staff

We so want to think the worst about people.

They misspelled my name in my high school yearbook. My initial reaction was 'I'M NOT SPANISH YOU KNOW THAT' but it wasn't that they were being jerks (And being confused for a Spaniard isn't even a bad thing), they just didn't know, didn't care, didn't have time, take your pick.

So, my name is forever wrong in my yearbook. There are worse things in this world.

So she was "saddened, disgusted, hurt and embarrassed ".

THATS a lot of adjectives.

Obviously she will be harmed for life and will require MILLIONS of dollars for therapy.

There are still plenty of us who remember that there is another Isis who is totally awesome!
