Brennan High Schooler says pulled pic is discrimination

A Brennan High School student is gathering signatures for a petition in response to what she believes is a case of discrimination.

Felicia Rivera, 16, was incensed when a fellow classmate told her last Friday that the school's yearbook supervisor, Amey Graybeal, pulled a photo depicting Felicia and her girlfriend, Lialani Hernandez, 17, cuddling at school.

The photo had been included on a page featuring six couples for Valentine's Day. Felicia believes Graybeal pulled the photo because the girls are a gay couple.

“On Friday, February 22, 2013, the yearbook staff refused to put a gay couple on the couple's page in the yearbook,” reads the petition. “They claimed that they have nothing against gay rights, but are scared of how much criticism the school would get and how parents of straight people would refuse to buy the yearbooks.”

Cuddling is not appropriate at a PUBLIC school, no matter who is doing it. That is my opinion. DhhD Mar 2013 #2

The back side of a horse has nothing wrong with it either. Allowing a picture of a horse's ass as a representation of a school is inappropriate. Things like dating, shaving, face licking, group dating, group shaving, group face licking, being a groupie in the parking lot, and the like, need to be done elsewhere. And if a picture is made, then keep it in your own book, have it published and then you can sell your shit (shit is teenage lingo) off campus.

Personally, I think student cuddling a school would be an embarrassment to parents or guardians.
And in my opinion, the students who touch each other could be sited for assault, indecency with a child and harsher violations of the law. I think that all student handbooks prohibit any behavior that could contribute to the delinquency of a minor.
