WALL -- Wall Township High School will print corrected yearbooks for every student after a photo was intentionally manipulated to cover up a junior's Donald Trump T-shirt, according to the district. Superintendent Cheryl Dyer announced the decision in a letter to parents on Thursday, a week after the district was first alerted to the altered photo. The new yearbook should arrive within two weeks, she wrote. "I cannot allow the intentional change that was not based on dress code to be ignored," Dyer wrote. "I am the Chief School Administrator in this district, and I take responsibility for the actions of those who are employed here. Therefore, I have determined that a re-issuance of the yearbook is necessary." The district on Monday suspended yearbook advisor Susan Parsons indefinitely as it investigates why yearbook photos were changed. There's no evidence students played a role in the changes, Dyer said Monday. While one student's photo was intentionally altered to remove a pro-Trump image, Dyer wrote that another photo that appeared to be censored was not. That photo was re-sized in the same manner as all other photos and Trump's name was no longer visible on a student's vest because of the re-sizing, Dyer wrote. Dyer also told parents that she has not yet determined why a Trump quote selected to accompany a freshman class officer's photo did not appear in the yearbook. "I do not know if this was an oversight, carelessness, or intentional,"

That’s going to cost the school a bucket of money
No it will cost TAXPAYERS a lot of money.
Really glad I don't live in NJ, or any other blue or purple state.
Skeptical cat is skeptical.
At $70 a pop. That would be $35,000 if 500 were sold.
Would like to know how many OBAMA tshirts were printed. This is unacceptable. The school deliberately and intentionally blocked a student’s right to self-expression. The school administrators need to be sued.
There is absolutely no doubt that a tshirt with “*slam will rule the world” would have been printed.
That teacher picked the wrong township to play that game
Excellent. Charge the costs back to those who illegally censored the yearbook.
Trump carried more than 60 percent of the vote in Wall
“The superintendent noted several other mistakes in the yearbook, including the intentional editing of photos from a student trip to Bermuda to add or extend clothing on students.”
What’s next? Airbrushing in woodies on the girls and camel toes on the guys?

I hate it when this happens. It’s so much easier to tar district admins as useless when one doesn’t step up and take responsibility.
Now I have to go all wishy washy with most or many instead of all.
That phot and the quote are the two things that got the yearbook reprinted, They said the other one was resized.
What a pathetic act by a LIB idiot. This probably is going to cost the taxpayers even more $$$$$. LIBs are such absolute losers.
Resizing every photo in the grouping, does not mean there was no evil intent. It merely means all photos were resized.
They could have all been resized as cover for doing it to one photo in order to remove Trump's name.
As devious as this person had already revealed themselves to be, why should this be ruled out? It shouldn't have been.
Superintendent Cheryl Dyer is making an assumption she cannot truly know for sure. I'd error on the side of this person doing this on purpose, once the other removal of Trump's name was discovered.
It's always an excuse with these folks. "Why would you think the worse, just because the worst had already been proven in another instance of censorship?"
"Just because!", will have to do I guess! It certainly works for me.
“I do not know if this was an oversight, carelessness, or intentional,”
Sac up lady and admit it.
Charge it back to the idiot “teacher” who started this. Make him pay cash.
