I mean, kind of both, even if it wasn’t intended to be the second.

Pennell says it all started in March, when the principal came to the journalism class to inform the Saga’s staff that students would no longer be allowed to use their preferred pronouns, and would have to use their birth names in their bylines, regardless of how they identified.
That’s when the students decided to make their next issue LGBTQ-themed.
Still, the students didn’t want to risk having the paper’s sponsorship pulled, so they followed the school’s rules. Pennell’s final byline is under a name he no longer uses.
Then admin closed the paper, with pearl-clutching about “won’t someone think of the tax-payers?”
Good for the students sticking to their guns, even if they did get shut down.

The kids are alright.
Odds are good within a decade that the paper will restart, with dedications to the students who published this, and it will have a dedicated front-page LGBTQ section.

You know, I’m thinking we need a “The Kids Are Alright” thread…or do we have one and I’ve missed it?

The bullshit terrorism continues.
Healthcare workers are going to die over this. There may be things happening behind the scenes, but all I see is no reaction. These are fucking terrorists. They need to be called as such and dealt with as such. “But that would upset the Fascists!” Good. Fuck them.
