Florida high school halts yearbook distribution over BLM section

A Florida high school halted the distribution of its yearbook over a section dedicated to the Black Lives Matter movement.

David Fleischer, who is the yearbook adviser at West Broward High School in Pembroke Pines, said the students were told that they had to stop handing out the yearbooks on Friday to allow school officials to review concerns about two pages that covered the racial justice movement, CNN reported.

“I found out that it was because there were some complaints from teachers and from parents about the content of the BLM page,” Fleischer told the outlet.

“That it didn’t seem objective, there were no opposing views. They mentioned the fact that we should have had, or could have included, something like Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter.”

Fleischer said he wrote an email on Monday to his colleagues to explain that “not every story has, or should include, an opposing viewpoint.”

“Stating ‘All Lives Matter’ is equivalent to stating ‘all houses matter’ when one in the neighborhood is on fire,” he reportedly wrote. “Advocating for one group does not mean you are attacking another, but using a countermovement distracts from the discussions that must occur about how people of color are impacted by racism.”

By Monday afternoon, he was told that sales of the yearbook could resume.

““Stating ‘All Lives Matter’ is equivalent to stating ‘all houses matter’ when one in the neighborhood is on fire,” “

Sometimes a house is left to burn to divert resources to preventing other houses from catching fire.

Speaking of houses (and businesses) on fire...Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, St. Louis, New York, Kenosha...all courtesy of BLM and their supporters.

Advocating for one group does not mean you are attacking another

It does when your group is attacking others, you moron.

mostly peaceful fires, though, doncha know?

If my kid brought home the yearbook described, I think I would cut out the BLM pages, first thing, then tear them up (or burn them). Then hand the yearbook back to my kid.

I’d get my money back. Praising a terrorist group doesn’t belong in a school yearbook.
