Why is the flag banned in school class pictures?

but with regards to the gun...you gotta be kidding. with all that is going on with school violence like columbine, and they're going to have a kid pose with a gun? no way. i don't care how innocent the picture it. it sets a precedent. how can you say no if you've said yes once in the past? you can't. you have to stop it before it starts.

Ok, by that rationale, all high school libraries need to purged of any books that might have the word, or reference any word, related to guns. That goes for dictionaries, encyclopedias, archived newspapers, Field and Stream magazines, that's it, it's all got to go.

Seriously, the guy's posing with something that he enjoys doing and appears as if he knows the proper way to handle firearms. I have no problem with it. So, just because their school yearbook allows such pictures his should be included.

As far as the bemoaning of Senior Pictures. They are HS senior pictures. Seriously. I'm willing to bet that people that truly care about having serious photography done are the kind of people that will be then taking pictures for Rush, composite pictures, formal sittings for resumes, COLLEGE graduation pictures, etc.
