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.
“I would be happy out of my own personal pocket to pay for different stickers to say this was not a school-sponsored event,” Board Chair Amy Pennock told the crowd gathered at a recent school board meeting, according to The Palm Beach Post.Students’ First Amendment rights are well and truly protected under the United States Constitution, with the Supreme Court affirming in 1969’s Tinker v.
Of course there are reasonable limits, also spelled out in the principal’s guide and backed by case law. Again, from Quill and Scroll:“The first direct experience most Americans have with press freedom, and the censorship that limits it, begins when they are in school working on student media.
Certainly not the real one, where we all share space and time with people who don’t look or love or live or worship or think like us. Where that diversity of lived experiences and viewpoints and gifts and beliefs is our greatest strength and a source of joy and our human and moral duty to protect. Where the ability to grow and learn and welcome and foster belonging smooths every single path we walk, from our marriages to our friendships to our communities to our careers.
