Some Fredericton students to get schooled after wearing 'culturally insensitive' clothing
CBC
The principal of Fredericton High School says staff are working to educate students after some in the Grade 12 class dressed up in "culturally insensitive" clothing for their graduation photos.
Stephanie Underhill Tomilson said Monday started out as expected, with students dressed up to have their photos taken.
Some were dressed in white shirts and jeans or overalls, which Underhill Tomilson said didn't faze her.
As the day went on, however, Underhill Tomilson said some of the students began to "embellish" those outfits by adding jewellery, bandanas and do-rags.
By the afternoon, Underhill Tomilson had sent a letter home to students and parents to address what she said was "an inappropriate and culturally insensitive photo initiative by some member of our graduating class."
"While the initiative was not sanctioned by nor endorsed by the school, it reflects poorly on all of us," Underhill Tomilson said, in the letter.
"In the upcoming days, we will be working as a graduating class on how to make this right. All graduates with questionable school photos have been deleted by Harvey Studios and will have them retaken tomorrow."
