Admits "Homophobic" Moment
18-year old Jackson first caught our attention after Bolden and her cronies censored his yearbook page because of this "illicit" picture. Straight couples, meanwhile, remained immune. As national outcry rose, officials released an apologetic statement. In this statement, they clarified their position, saying they censored Jackson because of "misinformation that Mr. Jackson was not one of our students". Obvious bullshit, of course, and Jackson refused to accept their regrets. |

Pretends Censorship Not Discrimination
Andre Jackson didn't include any pictures of gangs, nudity or violence on his $150 page, all of which the school explicitly prohibits. Instead, Jackson included a picture of him lovingly kissing his boyfriend. Unfortunately, Superintendent Marion Bolden and her colleagues weren't so loving: they went through all 230 copies of the yearbook and blacked out the picture. |
