Ohio middle school backs down after deleting ‘feminist’ from student’s class photo shirt [View all]

A middle school student in Batavia, Ohio won out over her school after officials deleted the word “feminist” from the shirt she wore for her class photo, Women You Should Know reported.

The girl, identified by her mother as Sophie, had worn the shirt to class at Clermont Northeastern Middle School on several occasions without a problem, including the day the photo was taken. But Sophie noticed the redaction after getting a copy of the picture. The school’s principal, Kendra Young, allegedly told Sophie that she “made the decision to black it out because some people might find it offensive” after being notified by the photographer.

Young later told WXIX-TV that she had the photo changed to avoid any “unintended controversies,” while acknowledging that it did not break the school’s dress code.



"feminist" Offensive? OMG!!!!!
