A controversy surrounding Bellaire High School's yearbook has sparked a debate over the coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Local NewsA controversy has erupted over Bellaire High School ’s 2024 yearbook’s inclusion of ‘Times of Palestine’. The page offers a perspective on the Israel-Gaza conflict from an Arab student’s viewpoint, but phrases like “what happened, happened” have drawn criticism.
The yearbook has also drawn criticism from students because it does not include the perspective or experiences of Jewish students.A statement was released by Principal Michael R. Niggli: Sharing our perspectives on difficult issues is a strength. We routinely come together to discuss and process difficult, complex issues. It is important that as a staff we provide guidance to students to include multiple perspectives on issues that impact different communities in such dramatic ways. I want to acknowledge that some in our school community were deeply distressed by the yearbook article.
