Amid the usual assortment of celebrity catchphrases and insipid inspirational quotes, one student opted to take a political stand.
“Build that wall!” with attribution to President Donald Trump, was published as a female student’s senior quote in the Richmond Early College High School yearbook.
But advocating for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border was too controversial for Richmond County Schools, which confiscated copies of the book this week. Spokeswoman Ashley-Michelle Thublin said several senior quotes raised eyebrows. With only six days of school remaining, officials said there isn’t enough time to reprint the yearbooks. Refunds will be issued and students will have no yearbook at all.
