Texas school recalls all yearbooks after cheerleader is bullied in caption that slips by editors

[proud2BlibKansan]

As reported by Dallas-Fort Worth TV network WFAA, the Irving Independent School District decided to take all 300 Irving (Texas) High yearbooks printed back into its possession after it discovered that the name of one of the school’s cheerleaders had been replaced with the phrase “Ugly Hoe.” The school told WFAA that only 12 yearbooks had been distributed when the mistake was discovered.

The district has already made it clear that they will punish whoever is eventually uncovered as the culprit of the incident, which they have deemed a drastic act of bullying, with a full investigation launched shortly after the error was discovered.

"Our educators have hearts and concern for the students, so immediately our concern is for that student and her well being, and to make sure we get this problem corrected as quick as possible," Irving school district spokesperson Leslie Weaver told WFAA.

Meanwhile, attempts to limit the photo’s exposure were undercut by social media, with the shot quickly circulated by students on their Twitter accounts and Facebook pages.

3. Please don't blame the teacher

I've been the yearbook advisor, and I've had two mistakes like that slip by. One was the printing company's fault (they used the old proof and not the corrected one), and the other was a kid who made an unauthorized alteration in my corrected proof.

Shit happens and not everything can be foreseen.
