If My Daughter Learns Evolution, She’ll Get Rejected from Vet School, Says West Virginia Dad

[Heddi]

6. Am I the only one that has a problem with the picture used in the article?

the one that is posted above in the snip, I mean. I don't think that's the daughter referred to in the article. Also, I have worn glasses my whole life and therefore I have many friends with glasses, and I don't think I've EVER seen anyone wear their glasses all kattywompus like the girl in the photo is. I think this is a deceptive ploy to make the eager young woman in the article appear to be a complete klutz. Talk about gender stereotyping!

I've looked all over the internet for the original version of this photo, and I can't find anything. This leads me to believe (based on the pamphlet I read once about the Journalism classes at the Junior College in town) that this is probably some kind of photo-shop job or something?

I find it very distracting. Also, can anyone tell me what book it is that she is reading? She seems to be about 3/4 of the way into the book yet with her glasses so askew on her face, I wonder if she really READ the book or is just looking at it. These are important things to know and I cannot even begin to read the article without knowing these details.

Also, the young woman in the article sounds very bright and ambitious. I wish her all the luck in her career as a veterinary technician, also known as a scientist.
