I hope that this story really gets out there and that there will be decisions made accordingly so that this young man can represent his pride in his country!

If they need the photo to fit certain space requirements for the yearbook page, they can crop it. They don't need to waste time and money by referenecing and blindly enforcing some hypocritical school policy that mandates year book photos must be only a certain size, shape and form-especially after allowing a Muslim girl to wear a head covering in her photo years before. Every student at that school should refuse to be part of that year book.

I don't think any school has the right to take our patriotic feelings away from us. I understand the desire for uniformity but he isn't doing anything disrespectful in the photo and thus it should be included.

Mindless. Not surprising that a bureaucratic school administration would sacrifice patriotism and common sense for the sake of formatting a student yearbook section to how they see fit. Mindless.
