LONDONDERRY, New Hampshire (AP) -- The school board has voted to ban a photo of a student from the senior section of his high school yearbook because he is posed with a shotgun.
Kid with a gun
Last month the yearbook staff, adviser, principal and superintendent chose to bar the photo from the yearbook, saying the firearm was inappropriate.
Penny Dean, Douglass' lawyer, said she intends to file a complaint in U.S. District Court, and said the National Rifle Association will pay for the court case.
OK, granted, he shoots skeet. So take another photo. Come on. A lawsuit?

Our yearbook gave a full page to each senior, and we could design them ourselves with any picture we wanted. The same thing happened to my brother. They wouldn't accept his picture with a gun in it. I think he just took another picture. It irritated me because two years before, Kenny, who was in my class, had a gun in his picture. The one I really objected to, though, was the editing of the guy who posed with the transvestite and the midget. They cut both of them from the picture entirely, and it ended up looking like a very bad photoshop job. They should have just made him submit a different picture.
