14-Year-Old With Down Syndrome Left Out of Yearbook Picture

Controversy is swirling around a junior high cheerleading squad in Utah after a 14-year-old girl with down syndrome was not pictured in the group photo that was in the yearbook. Morgyn Arnold is the beloved manager of the squad. Like the other cheerleaders, she posed in the team photo for the school's yearbook. But when her family eagerly opened it, Morgyn was nowhere to be found. Shoreline Junior High’s school district in Utah is now apologizing. #InsideEdition

“We're trying to figure out why that mistake was made."

Take a guess, genius

i hate that they always try to find the most stupidest excuses for their “mistakes”

[alexoneill]

My parents were right when they used to tell me adults were even bigger bullies than kids

[georgeowain]

‘I don’t think anyone had ill intent’ someone sure put in the effort to remove her from that photo.

“No ill intent”? How could there be no ill intent? Just admit this girl was purposely excluded and apologize.

[rainbowrivers]

They apologised because they were caught. Not because they were sorry. That was not a mistake.

[rossdilworth]

Nobody had ill intent? C'mon man. It takes a ton more effort to erase her from the photo than to leave it alone.

bullying a child..what a disgusting move by the school....a mistake !!!! someone made the decision and should be FIRED

[jellyluver]

Calling it a "mistake" isn't a sincere apology. The school should be ashamed

[Stormgazer]

That was no mistake. That’s totally disgusting for them to do that to her!

Recall EVERYBOOK, REPRINT, AND REDISTRIBUTE THEM. This young lady deserves to be treated with respect!

[saturdaypenguins]

That was not a mistake, That is horrible that they just left her out like that

[dwaynetunstall]

That wasn't a mistake. She was left off on purpose. People can often be mean as hell, and insensitive..

[DanielKing-dknr]

Not only her picture but her NAME as well was it was done on purpose.

[lilainspace]

You don’t “accidentally” edit someone out of a picture. That’s messed up

[thealextrifier]

And the worst part is this isn’t the first time folks like her have been neglected like this and likely not the last 😔

[Doritozz]

School: bullying is bad
Also school: let’s make a “mistake”

[brendasidmore]

Way to go big sister! Thank you for standing up for your sister and thanks to the cheerleaders for supporting their friend.

“That was mistake”

“Gee, you sure went out of your way to deliberately leave some one out of the picture. What a detailed, well thought mistake!”

[thejedicounciloffical]

The council senses that it is not a mistake since she was the only one taken out. The school only apologized because they got caught.
