A Florida high school will issue refunds after parents and students whined that the yearbook staff 'went woke' and included inappropriate LGBTQ+ content in its annual publication. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Lyman High School, part of Seminole County Public Schools, released a 256-page yearbook. Two of those pages spotlighted LGBTQ+ students and highlighted gender identity terms, like genderfluid and nonbinary. It was enough to send Seminole County Moms for Liberty Chair Jessica Tillmann into a hissy fit, and she submitted a complaint, forcing the district administration to say they would offer alternatives to people who already paid, but didn’t want, a copy of the current school-sponsored student yearbook. Seminole County Public Schools Superintendent Serita Beamon wrote in a letter, "A few students and parents have reported that they found this content to be inappropriate." While this matter is being reviewed further at the district level, any student or parent who purchased a copy of the 2022-23 Lyman yearbook may choose to return it to the school for a full refund or request an exchange for a re-printed yearbook that omits the pages in question. Parents and students have until June 29 to request a canceled order or modified yearbook, the letter added.
