NOTE : This took place in Bentonville, Arkansas - home of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
A school principal in Arkansas has apologized for political inaccuracies in a yearbook falsely stating that Donald Trump was not impeached and that last years racial protests in the US were Black Lives Matter riots.
Josh Thompson, principal of Bentonvilles Lincoln junior high school, admitted that some of the contents of the yearbook, which also included a photograph of the deadly 6 January insurrection in Washington DC captioned: Trump supporters protest at the Capitol, were both biased and political.
The letter did not address how the false statements and political opinions came to be published, but promised the school would evaluate its vetting process for all yearbook content to ensure future publications are of the highest quality.
The Lincoln yearbook featured a photograph of an unidentified group next to an overturned car, with the caption: Black Lives Matter riots Started in Minneapolis in may of 2020 [sic]; and a separate photograph of the former president with his fists clenched and the caption: President Trump WAS NOT impeached.

Men riding dinosaurs? January 6th Insurrection a capitol tour that got exuberant?
I am just sooooo tired of all that BULLSHIT.

"liberal indoctrination" when they're in school? That's pretty much the entire mindset behind their meltdowns over "critical race theory".
