I 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.

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 supported: LISD: Bring Back Wallpapers"UVU is a place for you" is one of the first things I say to people when I tell them to check it out as an option for school. I loved my time at UVU and made lifelong friends. The reason for that being that I felt so welcomed and safe. I don't agree whatsoever with what Charlie Kirk was spreading. I feel sad that his family will have to continue life without him, but I dont feel as though he needs a memorial dedicated to him. I dont think he stood for inclusion and equality like UVU does.
Eboni supported: Prevent Charlie Kirk Memorial at UVUMemorials should be built for someone who connects and inspires people. Not someone who was divisive and spread a lot of hatred towards the most targeted people. Building a memorial for him would be harmful to thousands in the community by telling them that Charlie’s hate towards them is inspiring.
