Girl Punished for Making Face in School Photo

Is making a face for your school picture something you should be punished for it? We think the real dumbass in this case is the school administration which chose to delete here picture from the school yearbook. Why, something to do with being "gang related." Really?

A James Madison High School student is being punished for making a funny face in her school photo. As a result, school officials have decided not to print her picture in the yearbook. 15-year-old Charlie Patton says she made a weird face because she was trying to make people smile. On photo day, she said the photographer hesitated before taking the snapshot.

"The camera girl looked at my mom and said, 'You alright with that, mom?'" Patton recalls. "My mom said, 'Sure, of course.'" But administrators didn't approve of the image. School officials are comparing her expression in her school picture to gang signs.
