School refusing to publish teens senior photo
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...28/detail.html
DURANGO, Colo. -- A teenager said Durango High School is refusing to publish one of her senior photos in the yearbook.
Sydney Spies told the Durango Herald that administrators told her the senior portrait she submitted would not be printed in the yearbook because her attire in the photo violated dress code.
The newspaper said the high school requires that tops "fully cover the chest, back, abdomen and sides of the student."
The photo Spies submitted shows her wearing a yellow skirt with a black shawl that exposes her shoulders and midsection.
"We'll get the ACLU involved if they censor," said Sydney's mother, Miki Spies, on Facebook. "Don't say, 'Can't she just submit a different picture?' Censorship is wrong."

it all depends on the language of the rules. My senior pictures were taken by an outside company on the weekend, not during school hours, and dress code was not required.
Judging by the picture, I'd say she's in a similar situation, but they're requiring dress code. The only problem I could see them having is if they singled her out when others were not abiding by the dress code.
