The Star again runs what I consider pornographic photos of Hispanic students, this time locked arm in arm, forming a barricade to prevent a meeting between school officials and State Superintendent of Schools, Tom Horne. Continuing their ongoing practice of front page coverage for students that walk out of classes and involve themselves in protests and confrontations with law enforcement agencies is lacking in sound moral judgment, let alone proper journalism in my opinion.
Certainly one can question the use of the term “pornographic” but only if one questions whether the photo does or does not depict the act in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction. It’s time to take the students that continue this charade, a very small minority I might add, off of the front page and put them back in the classroom where your and my tax dollars are earmarked.
A recent blog, today actually at 11:45AM, and by a Star employee seems to support my position. Read it and see if you concur.
Stop giving them front page notoriety and they will stop the childish antics.
