Highschool baseball team suspended because 8 seniors took yearbook photo without mask

[Sybil Ludington]

The school district said they violated COVID-19 safety protocols, so the whole team was punished


A varsity baseball team at a California high school was suspended after pictures of the team's seniors were posted on social media. They were suspended because they were not wearing masks in the photo.


Eight senior baseball players at John Burroughs High School in Burbank, California, took a picture in January as part of a nearly 20-year tradition for varsity seniors to take a group photo for the yearbook.


The photo was organized by the boys' moms and was posted on social media.


According to KABC-TV, Burbank Unified School District officials saw the picture and decided to punish the students for violating COVID-19 safety protocols by not wearing masks and not social distancing.


The entire varsity baseball team was suspended from organized practice and conditioning drills, and all eight seniors on the team were suspended for two weeks.


One of the seniors on the team claims that the school board wanted to cancel the whole varsity season but received pushback from the school baseball coach.

OH PLEASE! This is just beyond STUPID! So how were they going to identify each other years later when they're showing their kids the old yearbooks? For a couple of minutes they can't have the masks off? How could they take a group picture and social distance? Is there anybody who can apply basic SENSE?

Midcan is right. The entire team should have been flogged for their crimes against humanity.

What really gets to me is that although this was a school baseball team photo it was organized by the teams mothers and said to be a yearbook tradition. In other words not an official school photo as part of team activity on campus.

This is overreach by school authorities that should be under immediate protest and stamped out!
