Zoë is an occasional “model” for the Ohio Department of Education’s early childhood brochures. This photo (taken by Amy about a year ago) was recently being considered for a “Read to Your Child” brochure.
Well, apparently, there was a two hour special meeting today at the ODE over this picture, because (despite numerous other department people loving it), according to one of the department’s photographers/art directors, it’s was “inappropriate”. Why? Because we’re on a bed. And I’m the “main focus” of the picture instead of her (mainly because I’m bigger . . . shocking, considering I’m an adult and she’s a child). But, mostly because we’re on a bed.
TWO HOURS today discussing this!
Your tax dollars at work, Ohio citizens.
