A Nebraska school district shut down its journalism program after the school newspaper published articles about the LGBTQ community, according to the Grand Island Independent.
The Saga Newspaper at Northwest Public Schools in Grand Island, Nebraska, published a May editorial about the history of Pride month and homophobia titled “Pride and Prejudice: LGBTQIA+,” according to the Grand Island Independent. Students were informed the journalism program was cancelled days after the last issue was printed because the school board and superintendent were “unhappy with the last issue’s editorial content.”
The last edition of the paper published an article rejecting Florida’s Parental Rights In Education law, which prohibits the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity lessons in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms, the Associated Press reported.
An employee of the school district canceled the printing and advertising services for the paper after the last issue was published, the Grand Island reported. Administrators told the newspaper staff to stop publishing students’ preferred pronouns in their bylines in April 2022.
School board vice president Zach Mader told the Grand Island Independent taxpayers might have had strong reactions to the editorials.
“They would have been like, ‘Holy cow. What is going on at our school?’” Mader told the outlet.
In 2022, the 54-year-old Saga Newspaper placed third in the Nebraska School Activities Association State Journalism Championship, the Grand Island Newspaper reported. Five students on the newspaper staff won individual awards in the state competition.
Northwest Public Schools did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: How is it possible that the greatest and freest nation in world history has so rapidly come under the control of serially lying, deranged, power-mad sociopaths – leaders with nothing but contempt for America, for its history, its Constitution, its Judeo-Christian culture and its people? Orwell’s “1984” points directly to the answer: The elites are changing America’s language itself, so that people’s words – and therefore, their very thoughts – inevitably come under the control of the ruling class. It’s a way of bending reality in real time, so that what is illusion appears to be true, while what is real and true appears to be lies, misinformation, “hate speech,” “conspiracy theories” and “extremism.” This extraordinarily powerful but little-understood weapon of war employed 24/7 by the Marxist left is completely explained, exposed and exploded in the August issue of WND’s acclaimed monthly Whistleblower agazine, “NEWSPEAK 2022: How tyrants and lunatics are enslaving Americans by redefining everything.”
