Due to news censorship (”privacy”), we’ll never get to know how unreasonably the error was.

No it’s your fat asp that makes your outfit look big ;-)

[Jarhead9297]

Is it as bad as this all time great?

Without revealing her first name, this article and her complaint are pointless. Maybe her name was Iris, Isisa, or something else rather close. We don’t know.

[BenLurkin]

It’s funny. She needs to lighten up.

[Celtic Conservative]

LOL!

The big question: Is this - finally! - a real bias incident? Or is this yet another hoax perpetrated by the usual liberal agitators, one that will get hours of headline news before being dismissed in a minor footnote?

Lets see the lil social justice warrior’s name in print.

Lets see the screen caps of the facebook post.

Lets see the Twitter posts.

I will determine if there was any “bias motive” or these frivolous accusations rise to the level of criminal and exactly who must pay reparations.

I know of an individual whose name is Jihad, he asks people to call him “Jay”.

[C210N]

She needs to lighten up.

Maybe her actual name is Francis.

“The student, who is not being named because her family asked for privacy, took to social media...”

Yeah, ok.

[Thumper1960]

So, her name isn’t “Isis”. What is it? Fatah? Hamas? Shi’ia Suqqara? Wahabbi Walida?

[fella]

I’ll bet all the kids call her Isis and the yearbook editor thought that what her name was. I knew a good friend of mine for 3 years by his nick-name and was totally confused when I learned his real name.

The very best Bob Dylan album.

"We join with the family in their concern about a possible bias motive for this incident and in the deep concern for their daughter's safety as a result of being falsely accurately labeled as a Muslim member of a terrorist group," said CAIR-LA Executive Director Hussam Ayloush. "No student Muslim should have to face the humiliation of being associated with a group as reprehensible as ISIS Islam."

“The student, who is not being named because her family asked for privacy, took to social media to call out Los Osos High School in Rancho Cucamonga.”

I see. She took it to social media and they want privacy.

Am I missing something here? That’s privacy?

The girl's name is "Bayan Zehlif" according to the CNN article. Why the ABC article didn't divulge that is ridiculous since that information was needed to make any sense of the issue.

[StCloudMoose]

honestly, “terrorist breeder” would have been best suited name

[Company Man]

Let me see if I've got this straight. An attention seeker with both Facebook and Twitter accounts, who wants her privacy protected, is upset because the yearbook has her name wrong? Yeah, that makes sense. /

Hmmmm...link no longer works.
