Ad Agency Darkens Skin of Students in School Photo to Promote ‘Diversity’

Students in Lyon, France posing for a school photograph had their skin artificially darkened by an ad agency in order to promote “diversity” in the United States.

Planning to establish a branch in the U.S., the Emile-Cohl school posted an image of the smiling freshmen students to Twitter.

However, the students themselves drew attention to the fact that darker skin had been photshopped onto some of their faces, in a few cases making them look like completely different people.

After the school began receiving criticism over the manipulated image, they blamed the ad agency that provided the photo, before suspending access to their own website, severing a contract with the agency and issuing an apology.
