California High School Recalls Yearbooks For Inappropriate Superlatives

A California high school is having to reprint and redistribute its yearbooks after an oversight led to the printing of multiple inappropriate superlatives, reports People.

The yearbooks for Ventura High School seniors were distributed on Thursday, June 3 with superlatives like "Most Likely to Get Canceled" and "Most Likely to Get COVID Twice."

When Morgan Jensen received her yearbook she was surprised to see she had been named "Best Dancer" and "Most Likely to Be a TV Star."

"She was like, 'This is so random, I'm not a dancer,'" her mother, Stephanie Tindall, told People. "So she posted it on her Snapchat and somebody responded and said, 'Those are stickers, peel it off.' And so she peeled off the stickers."

"COVID is obviously a real thing, and people have lost family members, so I don't think that's something that should be in a yearbook," Morgan told KABC. "And the canceled one, I've already been bullied for this type of thing… so it wasn't really funny."

A spokesperson for the Ventura Unified School District apologized to the students and families who were involved in the superlatives.

They also announced the $100 yearbooks would be reprinted and reissued.

"In addition, we will conduct training for all Principals and District staff that oversee the yearbook and journalism groups," the statement read. "Ventura Unified is dedicated to ensuring we provide a positive environment for all students, and will continue to strive to do so."
