On January 6, 2021 several high school students that attend  High School in Alabama decided to make face masks with a hateful symbol on them because a girl in their class wore a pride shirt. A group of boys disagreed with her shirt so they decided to make face masks with an anti-lgbt symbol on them, the teacher told them that they had the freedom of speech and what they wanted to do was an act of peaceful protest. After making the masks the group of students took multiple photos of themselves wearing the masks. The teacher also told them they were not allowed to wear them outside of his classroom. As of today the students involved only received one day of out of school suspension and on day of in school suspension and the teacher has not be punished.
