Mother says yearbook photo of son offensive, wants recall

I could see how the picture would be offensive. But how do you recall a yearbook? And if the kid had a problem with it, he shouldn't have posed for the picture. Personally, I think it's a good thing that the kids didn't ever seem to think it was an issue in the first place. It shows that attitudes towards race really are changing for the better. The more serious question to me than whether or not the picture is appropriate is how did it get put in the yearbook in the first place? And why do they have superlative categories like Most Whipped and Most Likely to be on Jerry Springer in the first place?

Oh, and my favorite part of the article was this:

Students voting on superlatives — a staple of yearbooks for decades — elected Richards as "Most Whipped" by his girlfriend, using the slang term for a person who is controlled by another in a relationship.

Thanks for clearing that up, Palm Beach Post, I was thinking they meant like whipped cream or something. These kids today and their slang...
