SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. —

The school board had made it clear that they couldn’t change school policy and that the stickers would remain.

However, new information came to light during a public comment, where they all agreed the images would not be covered.

“The enthusiasm from students that happen to be here today, this made me realize and think that looking at yearbooks and comments, who is to say that one comment is better than the other,” Abby Sanchez, the vice chair with Seminole County Public Schools said.

“We should be able to voice our concerns and we shouldn’t have anyone take that right away from us,” Sanchez said.

“First, I want students to understand that the school board can not take action or corrective action here. The school board does not have that authority,” Sanchez said.

“But the book is prepared for the students by the students, and it’s meant to be a record of their time in high school, what they thought and cared about,” Sanchez said.

That’s what school board members for Seminole County Public Schools said before public comment began on Lyman High School’s recent decision to cover photos of the student-held “Don’t Say Gay” protest with stickers in the school yearbook.

One after one, parents, students and teachers agreed that the stickers were a form of censorship.

“It’s silencing the LGBTQ plus community, and silencing the journalistic community,” yearbook editor Sara Ward said.

“We shouldn’t allow our yearbook to be censored, because that would be censoring our voices. This is a piece of history, and Lyman’s history,” yearbook editor Maya Gluck said.

J.J. Holmes, a Seminole County student types his own speeches using his nose.

Without a voice, he delivered a message that had some people in the audience in tears.

“‘Don’t Say Gay’ isn’t even a law yet and you’re already using it to target students of the LGBTQ+ community,” Holmes said.

But, it will have a sticker noting that the protests were not school approved.
