I, of course, explained if the picture was too big they could crop it so it's Brad, Chucky & I (even though Fiona & Alex are awesome and I'd be sad if they were cropped out, but it would have been a compromise I would have dealt with.) But sadly that wasn't an option.
I've decided to start a petition in hopes of getting some attention towards the picture. I understand fuss over my senior picture seems childish but I love it, and it really shows my interests and love for Child's Play/Chucky. If others can have pictures with their girlfriends/boyfriends I should at least be able to have mine with Chucky, and friends.
Thank you for listening,

The school administration remains unmoved but I am still pushing for a meeting to discuss the rejection. It is exhausting to keep explaining why a simple photo matters so much to me, yet I will not drop this.

I love this picture and it should be aloud in the year book. I just went through senior photos with my son last year and everyone got to pick whatever they wanted. Good luck John.
this is a harmless picture. he should absolutely be allowed to use this as his picture. school really needs to learn where to pick it's battles. let him post what he feels best about. it's all in good fun and not offensive or 'violent'. I hope you reconsider xx
i love it so so much
Hopefully they reconsider. Great picture!
Hopefully they reconsider. Great picture!
it should be entirely your choice.
So sorry to hear about your run in with the authorities at Worcester Tech over this pretty cool photo. As you may know, I am no stranger to run-ins with the law. This really brings me back to my arrest in Miami where I was charged with indecent exposure for supposedly exposing myself on stage...And then there was New Haven, and Phoenix and... so sorry for rambling on, I've been drinking all night and eating ribs with Big E down at the Soul Kitchen and I'm feeling nostalgic. Anyway, Best of Luck from The King and The Lizard King. We hope you get this in the yearbook.
