|description_of_result=To protest the censorship, students circulated a petition at school, and then an online petition was created. At first, the administration justified removal of the work with the bizarre claim that it was a violation of the school's dress code. Later, in a meeting with Student Government, Principal Giordano explained that the age of the model in the photograph (Gonzalez is 15) was his reason for removing it, despite the fact the image is patently non-obscene and non-pornographic. Callahan-Scarcella and Gonzalez later agreed to re-shoot the photograph with Gonzalez wearing a t-shirt, using the same messages. The revised work was returned to the exhibition. | |description_of_result=To protest the censorship, students circulated a petition at school, and then an online petition was created.
