What gang's "sign" would she be making?














A San Antonio high school student is being punished for making a funny face in her school photo. As a result, school officials have decided not to print her picture in the yearbook.

15-year-old Charlie Patton says she made a weird face because she was trying to make people smile. On photo day, she said the photographer hesitated before taking the snapshot.

"The camera girl looked at my mom and said, ‘You alright with that, mom?’" Patton recalls. "My mom said, ‘Sure, of course.’"

But administrators didn’t approve of the image. School officials are comparing her expression in her school picture to gang signs.
