Some cooler heads have prevailed in Florida, where Seminole County School Board members unanimously voted down a proposal to cover an entire high school yearbook page in stickers to hide photos of students carrying “love is love” signs.
The photos were taken at a March walkout, which students organized to protest Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill — widely known as the Don’t Say Gay bill — outside Lyman High School near Orlando. The walkout was unauthorized, as walkouts tend to be, so the superintendent argued that the photos violated a policy prohibiting the yearbook from endorsing unauthorized student activity.
The school ordered sheets of stickers to cover the offending page, prompting students to launch a #stopthestickers campaign on social media.
