   A Florida high school halted the distribution of its yearbook   
   over a section dedicated to the Black Lives Matter movement.   
      
   David Fleischer, who is the yearbook adviser at West Broward   
   High School in Pembroke Pines, said the students were told that   
   they had to stop handing out the yearbooks on Friday to allow   
   school officials to review concerns about two pages that covered   
   the racial justice movement, CNN reported.   
      
   “I found out that it was because there were some complaints from   
   teachers and from parents about the content of the BLM page,”   
   Fleischer told the outlet.   
      
   “That it didn’t seem objective, there were no opposing views.   
   They mentioned the fact that we should have had, or could have   
   included, something like Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter.”   
      
   Fleischer said he wrote an email on Monday to his colleagues to   
   explain that “not every story has, or should include, an   
   opposing viewpoint.”   
      
   “Stating ‘All Lives Matter’ is equivalent to stating ‘all houses   
   matter’ when one in the neighborhood is on fire,” he reportedly   
   wrote. “Advocating for one group does not mean you are attacking   
   another, but using a countermovement distracts from the   
   discussions that must occur about how people of color are   
   impacted by racism.”   
      
   By Monday afternoon, he was told that sales of the yearbook   
   could resume.   
      
   “I know that their intent was to do the right thing, I’m just   
   not sure that their execution was necessarily appropriate,”   
   Fleischer told news station WPLG.   
      
   Broward County Schools confirmed in a statement that   
   distribution has resumed — this time with a note inserted into   
   the yearbook.   
      
   “As the yearbook is intended to highlight notable and newsworthy   
   events from that year, student journalists exercised their   
   freedom of speech in documenting the movement,” the statement   
   said.   
      
   “As a result of the review, distribution of the yearbook resumed   
   Monday morning with an insert noting that the views expressed   
   are not sponsored by the District..”
