Parent Complaints Forces Florida School to Pause Distributing Yearbook Over Black Lives Matter Coverage Versus Blue Lives Matter Students in a Florida high school had to halt distribution of a student-run yearbook following a wave of complaints about coverage of the Black Lives Matter movement, Local 10 News reported.

This after an alleged outcry over the book’s two-page spread featuring students participating in the BLM movement and names of those who’ve died at the hands of police was considered not to be objective because it didn’t include a conversation about Blue Lives Matter. Blue Lives Matter was created in December 2014 as a countermovement in the United States advocating that those who are prosecuted and convicted of killing law enforcement officers should be sentenced under hate crime statute.
