"  In today&amp;#039;s mind-bogglingly frustrating news: A North Carolina high school has banned a photo of one of its graduating seniors from its high school yearbook. The reason? The young women in the pic is holding her 1-year-old son.  According to the staff at Wheatmore High School, Caitlin Tiller&amp;#039;s (adorable) photo with her son, seen on the left, was cut from the 2013 year book because it &amp;quot;promotes&amp;quot; teen pregnancy. Yes, because an image of a normal, senior girl simply holding her baby really glorifies having a kid in high school. Kinda sounds like the (non-)logic used for abstinence-only education, right?  Teen pregnancy rates in the state, according to the Charlotte Observer, fell 28 percent over the last decade, and are not only historically low but are also outpacing the national average&amp;#039;s decline. So, it&amp;#039;s not like Tiller&amp;#039;s image would fuel some kind of existing epidemic.  Plus, the whole reason she posed with her son was to fulfill a school requirement: In an effort to make yearbook pics more personal, students were asked to bring something to pose with that showcases an &amp;quot;an achievement&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;best represents them.&amp;quot; Naturally, when you&amp;#039;ve had a kid, the most important thing you can possibly think of is your child. (And while officials in the school district tried to argue that senior portraits shouldn&amp;#039;t depict &amp;quot;an extension of family,&amp;quot; students were allowed to pose with their pets.)  All in all, we think it&amp;#039;s pretty sad that Tiller&amp;#039;s harmless photo was pulled. What are your thoughts on the matter?  Want more from Natasha?
