The policy also states that putting up displays about “controversial topics” isn’t as appropriate as other approaches and that the district can decide what messages and content can be communicated through signs and postings.
Board members Tim Langer, Darrell Beneker and Craig Thompson said they oppose the policy. Langer said he was worried about the message the policy would send to LGBTQ students. Arrowhead high school freshman Chase Eastman launched a petition against the policy that had 320 signatures as of Tuesday.
