Grand Island school newspaper shut down after LGBT-focused issue

LINCOLN Neb. (KLKN) – Northwest Public Schools in Grand Island got rid of its journalism program earlier this summer, in what some have called an act of censorship.

In June, the school newspaper published an issue covering several LGBTQ topics and information about Pride Month.

After the issue was published, staff and students of the journalism program were notified that the program was being eliminated after 54 years.

The school board and superintendent allegedly took issue with editorial content of the last issue. ... Channel 8 reached out to the superintendent but has not received comment.

Yep. It was Obama who was going to silence people. It was Obama who was going to bring Chinese-style censorship to the internet here. Good times.

Everytime these thugs point the finger at us, they don't realize they're pointing three of them right back at themselves.

And because they expect us to be as stupid as they are, they think we'll fall for their projection... Then meltdown when we don't.

Once again, the "anti-censorship" and "anti-cancel culture" party strikes again... by censoring and canceling those who aren't like them and say what they don't want to hear.

I hate Nebraska Nazis... Even worse, I hate Hypocritical Nazis.
