I wrote a book about "Our Wallpapers, Our Rights"
I never thought I’d live to see the day when the Constitution itself felt like it was under attack — not in some big national crisis, but right here in LISD. You’d think “freedom of expression” meant something in America, but apparently, it stops the second you open your school iPad. Taking away our wallpapers isn’t just a tech policy — it’s a violation of basic human decency.
Our iPads were more than just devices. They were tiny canvases of creativity, personal expression, and hope. My wallpaper wasn’t just a background — it was art. It was identity. It was a reminder that behind every login screen is a real person with dreams, emotions, and maybe a slightly concerning obsession with cats or space pictures. And now, that’s all gone. Deleted. Erased. Like our personalities never mattered.
When LISD locked our wallpapers, it didn’t just change a setting — it broke a silent promise. A promise that students are individuals, not uniform machines. What’s next? Will they control our notebook covers? Our shoelace colors? Our very thoughts? Because at this rate, it feels like we’re just a few clicks away from 1984 — but with school-issued iPads instead of telescreens.
This isn’t just about pictures. It’s about freedom. It’s about dignity. It’s about standing up for the right to look at a wallpaper of our choosing and say, “That’s mine.” So yes, maybe it sounds ridiculous to fight for wallpapers — but every great revolution starts somewhere. Today, it’s wallpapers. Tomorrow, it’s the world.

You know, at other districts, like my old school’s. YouTube was unblocked, and most game sites were unblocked. At this school there are almost no game sites, no entertainment except reading. The site doesn’t matter to me, it’s how people USE it. Like for entertainment when finished with work. Here when we’re done.. guess what. NOTHING TO DO. And now they’re taking our wall papers? That’s messed up. We already dont get games, we already dont get YouTube, and now we don’t even get the freedom to change our lock screen? Not only does this exclude all expression, but if someone were to find your iPad they would know whose it is. Because most people put their faces or their memories on there. So freaking taking our freedom to change wall papers? Nah, let’s sign this petition and get our freedom back!
Trung ha apoyado: LISD: Bring Back WallpapersI think this is simply a first step to total censorship. I remember my freshman year when we were allowed to use Twitter and plenty of other websites that, if used correctly, were practically harmless and simply a way to allow students to pass time and not be so miserable at school. If they’re censoring something as small as our wallpaper, they are bound to take it to the next level at some point. Additionally, as some others have said, wallpapers can be a form of expression. My wallpaper used to be a photo of my boyfriend and I on a day I never want to forget. I would much rather look at that on a daily basis than an ugly mandated wallpaper that hurts my eyes and has no identifiable property beyond what district it belongs to. That being said, if I were to lose my iPad, nobody would have any idea because my name, face, or other personal and recognizable information isn’t on it, and most students have their face, a friend’s face, or family set as their backgrounds. I think it’s ridiculous they’re focusing on something so small when they could be more worried about issues that actually matter, like the rampant drug abuse by students within LISD, especially at The Colony High School, and the *fact* that many students have and have had issues with teachers and staff who are disrespectful and can not do their job correctly. Do better, LISD.
Cody ha apoyado: LISD: Bring Back WallpapersI haven’t felt a mix of emotions like this since 9/11; the way he was gruesomely murdered so publicly, in front of thousands and millions more saw it on their phones!! I didn’t agree with Charlie on everything(which was very little imo), but I vehemently endorse what he stood for: open debate/discourae. The attack on Charlie, was attack on American values at its core. When the media uses selective editing, cherry picking clips to be taken out of context (because words like facist and nazi garner more “clicks”, which in turn makes $), no wonder it would unhinge an individual, if not many. The media is wholeheartedly responsible for this “stochastic terrorism”. The amount of emotional trauma that they influenced needs to be held accountable and congress needs to codify this into law. Freedom of spree h is dear, but when it incites violence it needs to be held to account.
William ha apoyado: Enact the Charlie Kirk Act to Restore Media AccountabilityI haven't felt terror and horror as visceral as I did seeing this man die so brutally since the towers fell 24 years ago. The difference is back then, the media wasn't as blatantly corrupt and people actually treated each other like human beings. Today, the media has become so corrupt with heartless, soulless, agenda-pushing monsters that have manipulated so many to the point that people are celebrating a young man dying horribly in front of his wife, children and thousands of on-lookers. They have dehumanized countless people all for their own gain. It needs to stop. I want the country we had 9/12/2001, where nothing else mattered but the fact that we were all Americans and we were all hurting... and we were there for each other. Politics didn't matter, left or right, Dem or Rep... all of that took a backseat because we still saw each other as human beings.
Charlie's death is not in vain, and I believe it has caused an awakening the likes of which we haven't seen in decades. There is much that needs changing, and the media's blatant corruption is perhaps one of the biggest. Hold these people accountable.
KELSEY ha apoyado: Enact the Charlie Kirk Act to Restore Media AccountabilitySo many of my 9–10 year old students saw the video. Some tried to open it and show me. They didn’t even flinch. To them it was “exciting.” They said it was “so cool” to see a man get shot. My heart broke.
This is NOT normal. This is NOT OK.
On 9/11 of all days a day we teach about hate and its consequences it felt fitting to stop and talk. I got quiet, tears in my eyes, and asked a simple question: What if this was your father? Your mother? Someone YOU loved?
The room went still. Heads dropped. Wheels started turning.
One student whispered, “It isn’t supposed to be this way. God wants us to love each other.” Another asked, “Why did they hate this man so much?” Some asked about his kids… his family. A few even had tears in their eyes.
These are children. They should never have been exposed to such violence, let alone find it thrilling. But in that moment, something shifted. The rest of the day, my class focused on kindness. They comforted each other, shared pencils, helped with their work. The calm was different tinged with sadness, but rooted in compassion. Even if it was just for today, they chose love over hate.
I didn’t know Charlie personally, only followed his videos occasionally, but this still brings me to tears. A life was lost. A father, a husband, a friend.
To those who laugh, mock, or share that video please remember: he has young children, a wife, family, loved ones. If this tragedy happened to you, would you want your children to see your death on repeat? Or would you pray for compassion?
Politics aside this was a life. And every life matters.

Alexandria ha apoyado: Petition to Change the Writers for Season 3 of Netflix's "Wednesday"WENCLAIR ENDGAME. There is so much chemistry between the two and the way it has played out is they have both sacrificed so much for eachother. It makes much more sense than putting Wednesday with Tyler who tried to kill her and her best friend. Some decent queer representation would be absolutely amazing for this show, especially since majority of fans are hoping and begging for it.
