A Florida high school is facing heavy criticism for Photoshopping the photos of female students in the annual yearbook, which they deemed too revealing. Bartram Trail High School in St. Augustine, Florida did not like some of the photos their female students sat for to go into the yearbook.

Faculty decided to have some of the photos cropped and blacked out for showing too much cleavage. Students were stunned when they opened the yearbook and saw the digitally altered photos. One of the student's whose cleavage was Photoshopped is 14-years-old. Due to the complaints the school has been issuing refunds but the yearbook must be returned to receive the money.

The school stated in its defense that a disclaimer was included in the yearbook, "All images in ads and all individual student pictures must be consistent with the St. Johns County School District Student Code of Conduct or may be digitally adjusted."
