Raider Nation yearbook cover stirs things up
A big controversy over the Shaker Heights yearbook cover has erupted and spread like an internet wildfire. At first glance, one might not see why the “Raider Nation” yearbook cover is causing such a stir.
The yearbook cover says “Raider Nation” across the top and the rest of the cover is filled with what Michael McIntyre describes as “a creative interpretation of a crowd of Red Raider mascots drawn by an artistically gifted student.” So what’s the problem with the Shaker Heights yearbook cover?
Look ma, a swear word!
As you can probably guess, there is a hidden message on the Shaker Heights yearbook cover. It starts with what one blogger calls “the mother of all cuss words,” a four-letter doozy, followed by “you all” and hidden upside down amongst the sea of mascots on the Raider Nation yearbook cover.
The art was created by an outgoing senior, who appears to have wanted to sent a message to classmates. The student who designed the cover hasn’t been identified. That’s probably a good thing. I wouldn’t want a high school kid to have to get fast cash loans from his parents because someone messed with his vehicle or played some other costly prank.
Cost to taxpayers
Of course, the artwork this student produced could very well amount to a costly prank itself. However, it sounds as though the school is handling the Shaker Heights yearbook cover problem without spending much money, if any at all.
Shaker Heights High School, in Ohio, stopped distributing the yearbooks after the principal was alerted to the hidden message. The school sent home a letter with parents and is now distributing “cosmetically altered” yearbooks. Students also had the option of bringing in original yearbooks and having someone cover up the message for them. McIntyre reports the alterations only involve a few pen strokes. ... click here to read the rest of the article titled "Shaker Heights Yearbook Cover | Will it Cost Taxpayers Money?"
