About a week before students at Great Hearts Western Hills were scheduled to return to the classroom, art teacher Lillian White says she received an email from her boss.
The schools headmaster, Matthew Vlahovich, told her she no longer had a job because she planned to continue wearing a mask that says Black Lives Matter, despite being told that the mask was against the charter networks dress code.
We deeply respect your convictions, and we sincerely wish you well in whatever advocacy you might choose outside the school, Vlahovich wrote, according to a copy of the email White posted online. However, the organization maintains a dress code in order to sustain a scholastic culture of learning in which students and faculty participate together across time.
According to White, Great Hearts added mask restrictions to its dress code policy after school administrators asked her to start wearing a different mask.

(1,986 posts)My son is a senior high school student and the principal's son wears a trump 2020 mask. I kind of wish this rule was applicable at my son's high school. Our county went 70/30 for trump in 2016 and he would not fair well if he wore a Biden 2020 mask.
