    This CNN article reports that a high school year book featured a photo with a boy who was wearing a hat with MAGA embroidery, only someone on staff had apparently blurred the hat’s text so that it was not visible.

    This has caused a stir over apparent “censorship.” The boy’s mother believes it was a political statement by the yearbook, and the staff says it was a “mistake.”

    I can picture a few possibilities here:


    • The mother is correct, and the yearbook staff was attempting to censor the MAGA hat as a move against the teen and his views.
    • The yearbook staff may have deliberately censored the hat, but it could have been to protect the MAGA hat-wearing teen from harassment.
    • Perhaps the yearbook staff were messing around, and someone blurred the hat as a joke. Then it went to press without anyone noticing (thus being indeed a mistake).


    What do you think happened, and was the yearbook right to blur the hat if it was on purpose?

    That's exactly what it is. Do you think that if you are preemptively sarcastic, that'll change the fact?

    Fascists don't do "editorial control"?

    You can't prove a negative. This is a logical fallacy.

    The burden of proving that editorial control = fascism is on you, the one making the claim.

    Your complete inability to prove any claim you make is definitely your problem.

    My thoughts exactly. Staff should've had the kid remove the hat prior to taking a school picture... same with any other dumbass wearing a hat.
