A Seminole County high school is facing backlash from its students for covering up yearbook photos of them protesting the state’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill, WESH reported.
The photos in Lyman High School’s yearbook show students holding rainbow flags and “Love is Love” signs during a walkout protesting the “Parental Rights in Education” bill, which occurred in March, before Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the legislation into law.
According to a petition on Change.org, the photos will be covered with stickers before the yearbooks are given to seniors.
The school’s principal said the changes were made to “assure the yearbook meets all aspects of Seminole County School Board policies, particularly as it pertains to non-school sponsored events.”
