There’s big trouble brewing at Derby High School in Kansas.
The annual school yearbook is filled with all sorts of inappropriate material. One student is depicted as a drag queen – a teenage boy wearing a leopard print top and black fishnet stockings. Libs of Tik Toc first reported the story.
There are also articles attacking Charlie Kirk supporters – along with quotes mocking people who love Jesus. And there’s a full page attacking ICE agents for deporting the illegal alien invaders. The Derby High School yearbook also included a message that President Trump is the worst president in American history.
I reached out to the school district for an explanation on why a book that is supposed to commemorate the highlights of a school year looked like a propaganda campaign from Antifa. Is it possible that the yearbook advisors were hired from The New York Times or Washington Post?
Well, it turns out the school district is defending the anti-Trump, anti-conservative yearbook. A district spokesperson confirmed that the controversial images were not only published, but were also approved by the club’s advisor.
“The Derby High School yearbook is a student-produced publication that operates under the Kansas Student Publication Act,” the spokesperson said. “Under this law, student editors are responsible for making content decisions, and student expression is protected within the parameters established by law. The Kansas Student Publications Act broadly protects student journalists in the state’s public schools from censorship by school principals, administrators or school boards.”
So, in a hypothetical situation, the district would be okay with the yearbook staff publishing a two-page spread on kids dressed in KKK outfits burning a cross? Would they be okay with a section mocking the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.?
I strongly doubt that school leaders would tolerate such outrageous content, but they’ve got no problem when it comes to conservatives being assassinated.
“The content included in the yearbook reflects the decisions and viewpoints of the student editorial staff, not the official views or positions of Derby Public Schools,” the spokesperson told me.
“While the district supports students’ rights and responsibilities as student journalists, this should not be interpreted as the district’s endorsement of every entry, segment or piece of content published in the yearbook,” the spokesperson said.
Back when we were in school – the yearbook celebrated the best dressed and most likely to succeed, not most likely to lead an ICE protest or join Antifa.
It’s unfortunate that a school in the heartland of our nation is spewing anti-American rhetoric. If we are really going to save our Republic, we must take back control of our public schools.
