Yearbook photos denied

Sat., Feb. 6, 2016

Regarding “Photo hits a roadblock (Jan. 23)”: In 1996, our twin sons graduated from Central Valley High School. Their yearbook photos were denied. We were told that if those photos were allowed, they, as well as me, would regret it years down the road.

Well, it has been years down the road; 20 to be exact. My only regret is that they were not allowed to express themselves. Clearly, nothing has changed as shown by the denial of Michael Ferguson’s photo in the Cheney High School yearbook.
