   A pair of Washington state high school yearbooks featured pro-   
   Black Lives Matter, anti-police photos and artwork — with one   
   even including information on how to donate to the controversial   
   movement.   
      
   At Woodinville High School in the Seattle suburbs, the yearbook   
   featured an image of seven students attending a Black Lives   
   Matter protest and carrying signs with messages like: “Use your   
   white privilege to end white privilege” and “Why is ending   
   racism so controversial?”.   
      
   One of the students posed for the photo while holding a sign   
   bearing the letters “ACAB”. The acronym for “All Cops Are   
   Bastards” has become a rallying cry among supporters of the   
   “Defund the Police” movement, as well as supporters of the   
   radical far-left group Antifa.   
      
   According to Seattle talk show host Jason Rantz, who first   
   reported on the yearbooks, the photo was not only published in   
   the keepsake, but was featured in a video collage at the   
   school’s graduation ceremony last week.   
      
   Northshore School District spokesperson Lisa Youngblood Hall   
   claimed to Rantz that staffers responsible for putting the   
   yearbook together did not understand what the phrase “ACAB”   
   meant.   
      
   “Honestly many other staff members had to ask what it meant once   
   the concern was brought to our attention,” Hall told Rantz in an   
   email. “The situation was addressed with staff who are   
   embarrassed and apologetic about including the image and the   
   unintended impact of this lack of oversight.”   
      
   In Bonney Lake, about fifty miles south of Woodinville, the   
   yearbook included a section devoted to BLM, which it called “The   
   Protests That Changed the World”. A brief timeline of   
   significant events in the life of the movement was followed by a   
   line directing interested readers to donate to BLM at its   
   website.   
      
   The opposite page was devoted to a student illustration titled   
   “Liberty and Justice for All.” The drawing features a riot   
   police officer raising his baton to strike a kneeling black   
   woman while a white woman attempts to protect her.   
      
   Sumner-Bonney Lake School District spokesperson Elle Warmuth   
   told Rantz in an email that the donation solicitation should not   
   have been included, but defended the rest of the content —   
   including the “award-winning BLHS student artwork.”   
      
   “With the purpose, in part, to chronicle events, issues, pop   
   culture and student life during any given school year, yearbooks   
   often serve as a historical publication,” Warmuth said in an   
   email.   
      
   “Our yearbook standards reflect this purpose in highlighting a   
   variety of topics written in either fact-based or opinion-based   
   formats. The Black Lives Matter message presented a factual   
   background of the movement and timeline of events.”   
      
   Warmuth also noted that the yearbook included a “balance” in   
   political content, including an interview with the school’s   
   conservative student body president.   
      
   The yearbooks were published amid a raging controversy over the   
   teaching in K-12 schools of lessons based on critical race   
   theory, which states that America’s laws and institutions are   
   rooted in racism and white supremacy.
