RollingJ Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Irene, I suspect it is because the 'censored' subjects were girls who ha d 'developed' Edited July 26, 2023 by RollingJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the children censored are boys. If you look, the ones who have been censored are the ones NOT wearing the SJS Swim Team T shirts. Why this is I cannot fathom.

Because its naked child flesh and someone has overreacted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, must admit I only took a fleeting look at the photo, but if that is the case, I agree someone at the school has been, shall we say, a little over-zealous.

(1) Apparently, my initial thoughts were wrong (see Francypants reply above) (2) From what I recall of that photo - it did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikki-red Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Well the writer of the article is called Mr. TEE. Maybe he just doesn’t like it when someone isn’t wearing one. (Sorry) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Swaine Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 When I was at school, the school didn't have social media. We'd get letters on our desks towards the end of the day, with any communication and we would have to take it home to our parents. I suppose these online ventures keep the dear receptionist lady busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chekhov Posted August 2, 2023 Author Share Posted August 2, 2023 (edited) Killjoys enforce dumbed down cotton wool cobblers of the first order. You are cordially invited to the funeral of personal responsibility : "Jacobite steam service [tourist train from Fort William to Mallaig in Scotland] suspended after concerns over door locking safety" The ORR (Office of Rail Regulation] indicated carriage vestibules were not being managed properly and the inspector said someone could fall out from the doors of a train or that a person leaning out of an open droplight of a moving train may be struck as the train passed infrastructure, including vegetation, rock cuttings and earthworks. Stewards are not preventing passengers from operating the secondary door locks, or preventing passengers from leaning out of the train doors or out of the opening droplight windows. (Railway Magazine Aug 2023 p6) Plus https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-66271357 Timeline 1830 - First inter city rail service [without central locking of doors and with opening windows] 1951 - Mk1 coaches (as used on the Jacobite service) introduced [without central locking of doors and with opening windows] 2005 - Central door locking mandated [175 years since the 1st inter city service, 54 years since the introduction of the Mk1 coach] 2019 - Opening windows banned on mainline trains [189 years since the 1st inter city service] Some people would say that if anyone is stupid enough to open a door whilst the train is moving (when it is out of a station and/or travelling at more than walking pace), or lean out of a train window without first checking it's safe, that's Darwin's theory working right there. Don't dumb us all down just because a tiny number of people haven't got the sense they were born with..... BTW, that bloke leaning out of the train widow below is not doing anything dangerous at the location he is doing it, not if you are using any reasonable definition of the word "safe". I'd be doing the same thing given half a chance. Edited August 2, 2023 by Chekhov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
