A Utah junior high school that took two official photos of its cheerleading squad did not include the 14-year-old team member with Down syndrome in one of these pictures - and chose to use that image in its yearbook and on social media, according to reports.

Shoreline junior high school cheer squad member Morgyn Arnold had been the team's manager, and knew all the routines by heart", the Salt Lake Tribune reported. In the photo that included Arnold, she was seated in the front row, whereas in the second image she was clearly absent.
