High school bans teen's revealing yearbook photo

A teenager girl and her mother held a protest after the girl's school yearbook photo was rejected for being too revealing.

Sydney Spies, 18, organised the protest after administrators at Durango High School told her the senior portrait she submitted would not be printed.

She claims she was told it was rejected because her attire in the photo violated the school's dress code.

The high school in Durango, Colorado requires student to wear tops that 'fully cover the chest, back, abdomen and sides of the student.'

But the photo Sydney handed in shows her wearing a short yellow shirt with nothing but a black shawl wrapped around her chest exposing her shoulders and midsection.

'It's a little different from everyone else's picture,' she told the Durango Herald.

But she said she chose it because it was a picture which best represented her personality.

'I feel like they aren't allowing me to have my freedom of expression," she said, according to the Herald.

Sydeny and her mother Miki held a protest outside the school on Wednesday with friends to make their paint by waving handwritten signs.

I thought they said the students ultimately made the decision on whether her photo should be put in there.

@ActaNonVerba71 yea thats why you keep responding cause your a child you attacked this girls mom earlier obviously your a butthurt little virgin who is mad at women scram you little punk..u better keep responding or im gonna beat ur ass

[ActaNonVerba71]

@420Crackdealer 1) I never suggested I had a right to tell women how to dress. 2) I'm acknowledging the power of female sexuality. 3) I'm not a social or fiscal conservative. 4) Treating women as independent agents who both make choices and bear responsibility for them is treating them like adults. On the other hand, shielding women from criticism or responsibilities for their choices is treating them like children. Also, you getting all butthurt when responding is child like.

@ActaNonVerba71 you got issues you have no right to tell someone the way there living their life is wrong, you label anyone who doesn't fit your conservative image of a women a "hooker" your obviously severely repressed. Yea dont treat women like children let them live their own lives. I'm not watching your stupid link get lost
