The controversy began when Durango High School senior Sydney Spies submitted a yearbook photo that she said expressed her personality. In the photo, she's wearing a yellow skirt and a black bandeau kind of shawl top that exposes her midriff and back. Her personality sounds like it arrhythmically plays the tambourine in a Maroon 5 video, but whatever. It's her legacy.
When the yearbook advisor saw the picture, however, she decided that the picture could not be included in the yearbook on the grounds that it violates school dress code. Durango High requires students cover the entirety of their chests, backs, midriffs, and sides during the school day, you see. Fair enough. Except Sydney says that she was never told that her yearbook photo needed to adhere to school dress code, and that, in fact, there's no policy in place to govern what students can and cannot wear in the picture that will end up smushed up against the pictures of everyone else's senior quotes from The Notebook or Entourage for all of eternity.

I am sincerely thinking about Traci Lords.
