Why this parent was ‘shocked and quite offended’ by his son’s school photo

A school boy’s religious necklace has been photoshopped out of his school photo, leaving his father both shocked and offended.

Joe told Tom Elliott his son, a year 8 student at a public school in Melbourne (which 3AW has chosen not to name, at this stage) got his school photo back this week to find his crucifix blurred out with a “dark mark” on the photo.

“I was shocked and actually quite offended,” Joe told Tom Elliott.

He said his son had been wearing a crucifix around his neck for the two years he’d been at the school.
