WASATCH COUNTY, Utah — Female students at a Utah high school want to know why their yearbook photos were altered to show less skin without them knowing about it.

The students who were surprised to find their photos altered attend Wasatch High School, and some of them said they also feel upset because it appears the decisions whether to alter the photos or not weren’t made consistently.

“I feel like they put names in a hat and pick and choose who,” Sophomore Rachel Russel said. “There were plenty of girls that were wearing thicker tank tops and half of them got edited and half of them didn’t.”

And that’s what bothered the girls the most. It seemed like the school randomly picked which pictures to edit. In one case, two different girls were wearing nearly identical tops: one photo was altered to add sleeves and the other was not. At least two dozen girls had their photos altered. The students who spoke with FOX 13 News were not aware of any male students who had their photos altered.

The photo gallery in the Tribune shows several girls given "modesty" alterations, and one young boy wearing a "You Suck" T-shirt that was left unaltered.

Oh, Utah.

1. It's just pathetic.

They weren't even consistent in their editing, as the video from the local station shows. It's as if one editor went through a set of photos and modesty-shopped them and the other editors did nothing.

The superintendent is a tool.

2. A parent contradicts the story that there was a 4 ft. sign warning kids their picture would

be altered if they violated all the dress codes too.

But wtf, the cute clothes the girls were wearing were youth appropriate and nice-looking. All the alterations make it look like some fundy school.

3. After I had already written the title, this started going around among my

Utah friends:



It looks to me like one or two of the editors were going on LDS modesty standards and others were not.

4. Sad but true!

It's just such an invasive level of censorship. Who the hell looks at yearbooks except the students and parents for like 5 minutes?
