... the other Black experience
I just read this article on a friend's Facebook page. I dont really think the situation calls for national new and being deemed "offensive and degrading" as the report states. Perhaps I'm not seeing the big picture. What do you think?

Permalink Reply by kifaru on I think who ever thinks the photo is controversial is pushing it. I would say it was in bad taste...Maybe.. The reason there is a consent form is so anyone who doesn't want their kids seen can have their kids not seen. I have a hard time seeing how anyone could sue over this. Just print the pictures with the kids face and remove the smiley face or make a better effort to find the kid's parents and get consent.
Permalink Reply by Felicia on Or since the photo was already printed have the permisson slip sent along with the order form. I don't find it offensive because this is exactly what my school did if there was someone who was absent on photo day or when the kid did something inappropriate in the photo (ie. throw up gang signs or make a funny face).
