Some high school students play football or the alto sax. Others go skeet shooting.
Now seniors at an Nebraska high school who happen to be seasoned young hunters can pose with their firearms for their yearbook photos, as long as it’s done in a “tasteful and appropriate way.”
The Broken Bow School Board voted unanimously Monday to allow students to pose with guns in school pictures after parents advocated for the change, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
“The board I believe felt they wanted to give students who are involved in those kinds of things the opportunity to take a senior picture with their hobby, with their sport, just like anybody with any other hobby or sport,” Superintendent Mark Sievering told the newspaper.
The school district previously banned such photos due to national concern about violence in schools, according to Sievering.
Students must not brandish the weapon or point it at a camera under the new photo policy, according to the World-Herald. The policy states the photo must be “tasteful and appropriate” and that students “should not submit a photograph of game shot by the student if the animal is in obvious distress.”

Nice hunting rifle there. Finger on the trigger. Can we add Nebraska to the secede now list?
Dumb…but not unexpected.
LOL Can kids with other fetishes pose with the object of their affection as well? Can a sex toy enthusiast hold a dildo gently against their cheek? Can a foot fetishist pose with some tastefully severed feet in their lap? What about a young motorhead? Can a young woman reenact Tawny Kitean’s Whitesnake video by tastefully posing spread eagle on a Jag? Seems fair to me.
