[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 313653, member: 1061"] Female students from Wasatch High School in Utah were in for a surprise when they eagerly opened their new yearbook. [I][B]Photos have been edited so that students showed less skin. Bare shoulders were covered and low necklines were raised.[/B][/I] The editing policy doesn't seem to be uniformly applied to all girls, an oversight the school administration apologizes for. But that's all they're sorry for. The school has a "modesty policy" that bans "extreme clothing". Utah has a large Mormon community, which is likely at the root of the conservative approach.
