HAMLET, N.C. – Administrators at Richmond Early College High School distributed 22 pre-ordered yearbooks on Tuesday, only to take them back hours later over “controversial” Donald Trump inspired quotes.
Shortly after school officials distributed the pre-ordered yearbooks, at least one person posted an image of senior quotes published in the yearbook they found offensive, including one “build that wall” quote critics allege is racist, the Richmond County Daily Journal. “So Richmond county school system allowed this to be printed in their 2017 year book (sic),” Artney Ellerbe posted online, along with a senior photo that’s accompanied by the Donald Trump quote. “I already knew this city was racist. Get a court date you’ll find out. This doesn't surprise me at all.” 
Officials are now offering refunds for the yearbooks, which cost between $30 and $39 depending on when they’re ordered, and will not be distributing any more. The school’s last day of classes is May 18, and new yearbooks cannot be reprinted in time so the Class of 2017 will have to go without, she said. Parents of students at the school told the Daily Journal the principal approved the yearbook quotes, and many think school officials are overreacting. “I feel that young lady only stood up for her freedom of speech by using the quote of her choice,” said Charity Davis, mother of freshman Chase Brown. “Every senior was given the opportunity to choose a quote. It was her right as an American to choose any quote under the sun.” Davis also questioned why the yearbooks were not screened for potentially offensive material before they went to print. http://eagnews.org/school-administrators-cancel-yearbooks-over-trump-build-that-wall-senior-quote/ |

Wow must be a small school if they only cost up to $40. Hell I remember way back when ours were $50 and up.

A court date for what? You wanting to shut down your classmate's speech? That's not how this works.

I think they mean they went to court for committing a crime and were punished for said crime, therefore the city is racist. Apparently 4 years there wasn't enough time to learn how to string together a few coherent sentences. |

They halted distribution of our yearbooks because somebody put "Let's have a snowstorm" in their senior comments section.
Keep in mind this was in Massachusetts where half the kids in my school skiied, but school officials overreacted somehow interpreting it to be about cocaine. They ended up cutting part of the page out of half the yearbooks (cutting part of a student's senior picture out of the other side of the page) before realizing they should cover it up with a sticker. They had no problem with my comment about Schnapps, but couldn't tolerate a reference to snow

The Snowflakes are growing increasingly angry. They're not getting their way enough to suit them. And every time President Trump makes a statement they find "idiotic" and "crazy" it turns out to be 100% correct. He's winning so much they don't know what to do. So they get mad and lash out emotionally. Gonna be a long hot summer.

How can the school "take them back".
Purchased, paid for, and delivered. The year books were the legal property of the students. Seems like theft. |

ETA: Either way, the school must be subsidizing the cost of those books through ad sales, or just the district paying for a good chunk of it. A small district will pay about $90-100 if they're selling around 100 units. I recently looked at the yearbook website of a school in FL which was selling them for 70-90 bucks depending on the time of year ordered. They had a really nice site. |
