At least 80 girls’ pictures altered in Florida school yearbook

STEWART: IT’S NOT OFTEN A HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK MAKES INTERNATIONAL HEADLINES. BUT THAT’S THE CASE FOR ONE SCHOOL OUTSIDE OF ST. AUGUSTINE. MICHELLE: THE TODAY SHOW, TMZ, EVEN THE BBC IS REPORTING ON BARTRAM TRAIL HIGH SCHOOL’S DECISION TO DIGITALLY ALTER SOME YEARBOOK PICTURES, AND IT IS LEADING TO OUTRAGE. THIS IS A BEFORE AND AFTER YEARBOOK PHOTO TAKEN OF BARTRAM TRAIL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT RILEY O’KEEFE. ON THE LEFT, THE NINTH GRADER’S ORIGINAL OUTFIT, BUT ON THE RIGHT, HER PICTURE PHOTOSHOPPED TO COVER UP HER CHEST. THAT’S WHAT ENDED UP IN THE YEARBOOK AFTER THE SCHOOL SAID HER LOOK WAS INAPPROPRIATE. >> YOU’RE NOT ONLY AFFECTING THEIR PHOTO, IT’S NOT JUST FOR PROTECTING THEM, YOU’RE MAKING THEM UNCOMFORTABLE AND FEEL LIKE THEIR BODIES AREN’T ACCEPTABLE IN A YEARBOOK. MICHELLE: O’KEEFE SAID SHE WORE THE SAME EXACT OUTFIT TO THE OFFICE, AND THEY TOLD HER IT WAS FINE. AFTER SEEING THE YEARBOOK PICTURE, SHE FELT UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT WANTED TO SPEAK UP FOR HERSELF AND OTHERS. >> I DON’T WANT GIRLS TO FEEL LIKE THEY DON’T HAVE A VOICE, ESPECIALLY GIRLS WHO AREN’T -- DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE COMING AND SPEAKING ABOUT IT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. MICHELLE: SHE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENED TO. AT LEAST 83 STUDENTS AT BARTRAM TRAIL GOT PHOTOSHOPPED, ALL OF THEM GIRLS. ONE TEEN SPOKE ABOUT THE EMBARRASMENT THIS MORNING ON THE TODAY SHOW. >> I REALLY DIDN’T EXPECT IT, BECAUSE I WAS IN DRESS CODE. IT MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE AND EMBARRASSED, EVEN THAT PEOPLE WERE, LIKE, SENDING ME PICTURES BECAUSE IT’S VERY NOTICEABLE, AND IT’S LIKE THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE. MICHELLE: THE SCHOOL IS OFFERING TO REFUND YEARBOOK MONEY OVER THE PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURES. BUT ONE MOTHER WHO DIDN’T WANT HER IDENTITY SHARED SAID A REFUND DOESN’T CUT IT. >> OUR DAUGHTERS OF BARTRAM DESERVE AN APOLOGY. THEY ARE MAKING THEM FEEL EMBARRASSED ABOUT WHO THEY ARE. MICHELLE: A SPOKESPERSON FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS THE CHOICE WAS MADE TO PHOTOSHOP TO KEEP WITH ITS CODE OF CONDUCT POLICY, AND A SOLUTION TO MAKE SURE ALL STUDENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE YEARBOOK. WHAT’S ALSO MAKING HEADLINES IS THE CRUDE WAY THE PHOTOSHOPPING WAS DONE. TAKE A LOOK, PATTERNS DON’T LINE UP. IN SOME CASES IT’S LIKE A BOX OVER THE STUDENT’S CHEST. STUDENTS AND PARENTS SAY THEY WERE NEVER TOLD THE PI
