."She is so kind and so forgiving and pure as they come."
"Think back to your school days — yearbook day was so fun and exciting," Poll told TODAY."Morgyn was so excited to go to school and get her yearbook."The photo that was used in Shoreline Junior High School's 2020-2021 yearbook excluded member Morgyn Arnold."She came home from school and was showing us her yearbook," Poll explained."She said 'There’s my team and there’s my friends and I’m not included.' She was devastated.
"The first picture you see is a cute junior high cheer team. The second, although similar, includes all members of the team. It’s the SAME cheer team–SAME girls, SAME photo shoot, SAME poses, but one included all team members and one did not. In a statement posted to the school's Facebook page, which has now been deleted, and emailed to TODAY,"We are deeply saddened by the mistake that was made," the statement read."We are continuing to look at what has occurred and why it occurred. Apologies have been made to the family and we sincerely apologize to others impacted by this error. We will continue to address it with the parents of the student.
There will always be discrimination against those who are different. I don't believe for one minute that someone either on the team or connected to the team made the decision not to include her in the picture or add her name as being a member. Sad. Very, very sad.
Disgusting!!!
Shameful Shame Shame on them why are they protected? Yet this poor girl was put out there to feel sad and embarrassed and not worthy? Those '''' don't deserve to be in the same room let alone a picture with this beautiful young lady!
Discussing
This is a fine example of “token” inclusion. As a parent of an IDD daughter, I’d rather have her left out altogether than included for show.
Shame on them
Simply terrible !
I was never real involved in extracurricular activities back when I was in high school; who chooses what goes to print in yearbooks? There has to be someone to oversee for quality control right? It can’t just be students who have control over what’s printed. Right?
That's sad. Lets just pretend that didn't happen.
🤬Absolutely sickening and what’s wrong in this world!
Teach our nation it’s not okay to discriminate she needs to sue all those girls for discrimination under the civil rights act. Them those entitled pigs a lesson they will never forget
I feel bad for all the kids. I feel bad that Morgyn was excluded in the yearbook. Whoever made the decision is a horrible person. I also feel bad for the rest of the cheer squad who are getting death threats from people on social media.
That is so mean
Why would they be so cruel?
School ran by HATERS Bigots 😂😂😂 pathetic 😂😂🤣 forever on media as a pathetic HATER HUMAN ✅💯
ARE there new photos..how pathetic you teaching hate in school. Wow 😳
This isn’t there first time leaving Morgan out of the pictures.
This is abhorrent. What are they teaching these students by allowing this to happen? Shameful.
How disgusting.
Mighty white thing to do
This makes me sick. Whoever made that decision and whoever made it happen need to be held accountable.
What are we teaching our youth? If you are different we will pretend to include you … but not really. And I bet these folks will all claim to be “Christians”.
Utterly disgusting
Being American is embarrassing. We are selfish assholes.
So sad..looks like these teens learned how to DISCRIMINATE by NOT USING RACE.. IT HURTS...
Are you freaking kidding me?!?!?! SHAME ON THEM!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Not right
For every action there is an equal opposite reaction.
The trend of the omission of marginalized individuals, groups and clubs in high school student run yearbooks keeps increasing. Educators, you need to step in. BS like this will keep on happening if the adults in the room do not show up.
They’ll be sorry some day, after life hands them something painful.
Horrible.
So so wrong
Was she digitally remove from the photo or did they all take another photo leaving her out?
Utah is the absolute worst. The same thing was done to my daughter after she left the drill squad because the school would do nothing about the parents of other girls bullying her. I am so glad we left.
Very sad. Shame on the coach and yearbook staff.
Bad headline. It was NOT the middle schoolers that excluded her. It was whomever edited the yearbook. dobetter
😡
Would LOVE if someone could provide a PO Box or email address so that the public could send this sweet girl messages / cards - she deserves it!!!!!!!
Typical Lilly White LDS. Excuse me while I try and look surprised
A “mistake” is something done unintentionally. This was intentionally done by a group of people. Doesn’t send a good message to our youth and certainly doesn’t come across as good or decent. Shoreline should be ashamed.
😡
Why
Shame on that Utah cheer squad!!! Appalling!
That’s just rude and mean and they don’t need to look into it… they know someone said cut her out… only question is who is the asshole!?
Did they really? You have to ask first these days.
This is UNACCEPTABLE! There’s no reason not to include her!
Wow plus it said this wasn’t the first time they did this to her.!
kazweida Utah getting bad press today.
Where's her uniform?
I am against abortion
It was no mistake. That cheerleading coach should be reprimanded, the picture taken again, and the yearbook page reprinted.
Utah cheer squad is 👇🏽👇🏽
Wow! Sickening! What the hell is wrong with those girls AAANNND the coach? Not cool, not at all
Mean Girls, life is a balancing act. You will eventually feel that pain, too. Except: you’ll deserve it!
They’ll say it was a mistake or an error and cover it up … that is really sad they did something so despicable and hurtful to someone it would mean so much to see themselves in the photo with you he rest of the squad
That’s just pathetic.
Garrisons quite fine he’s more sensory! Donate to the autism research fund
Autism my sister has a son with autism
What the f? Why would the sponsors even take 2 pictures? Is this a scene from “mean girls” or “gossip girl”?
A point of reference I never really socialized with the cheerleaders despite being respected by them.
While I was 'training' for the National Cerebral Palsy/Les Autres Games in 1983 my year book dedicated a couple pages to me. Remember I was competing not going on trail rides socializing with others in my age group.
Sounds like a discrimination against a cheerleader with Down syndrome.
I can just imagine all the minority (race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) girls that were never given a chance to make this squad.
HATER HUMANS die HATER HUMAN 🤣🤣🤣⚡⚡⚡ pathetic
A group of elitists who should be ashamed of themselves, but will instead rationalize their bad behavior.
Despicable
Looks like they omitted all the melanin, too...
The district is “deeply saddened” by the “mistake.” MISTAKE? That was no mistake, that took a lot of effort-and gall.
So sad that in 2021, we as a society can't be more open and inclusive.
Despicable
Mistake and error? I don't think so...
They said it was a 'mistake' I'm no, that took effort to not include her and I would be so pissed if I was her mom, and I'm sure she is, But this is what they fight for and you guys think it's just okay to not include people that you don't like
PLEASE DO ANOTHER ONE 🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Is this whites only club😳
Wasted oppportunity ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Reprint the yearbook. This is deplorable.
D.e.p.l.o.r.a.b.l.e.
Messed up.
