A senior at Clements High School in Limestone, County, Alabama is facing suspension after she posed for a selfie with a cadaver while on a class field trip.
The teen joined her biology class for a trip to the University of Alabama's biology department. During one part of the trip, the students learned about the school's anatomical donor program, which apparently included a visit to the morgue.
The morgue was filled with cadavers covered in sheets, and at some point one student lifted a sheet, gave a big smile, and snapped a selfie. As if that wasn't bad enough, the young woman then posted the photo to Instagram.
One of her classmates, disturbed the pic, brought it to the attention of her sister, who reported it to school officials and Huntsville's WHNT.
"We were notified via email this morning from a parent that this incident had occurred," Karen Tucker, the Limestone County School Board Director of Public Relations and Technology, told the news outlet. "We are speaking to the University of Alabama Birmingham, they are understandably upset with this incident and we want to preserve our relationship with the university. Therefore we are speaking to them and wanting to know how we can mend this process and keep our relationship with them, and we are in the process of deciding on the discipline that will occur."
The university also released a statement:
"A student was made explicitly aware of these policies and breached them. This kind of disrespect is unacceptable and very disappointing. We will review our processes to ensure this does not happen again."
Clements High School principal Keith Hairrell would not confirm whether the student has yet been suspended.
