Clovis High School is in the middle of a controversy surrounding the publication of photos and interviews with gay couples in the yearbook.
Christian groups and even former Lieutenant Governor Walter Bradley criticized the spread.
The student yearbook editor says they wanted to show diversity. The article also features heterosexual couples.The teen says that to not put gay couples in the yearbook would be discrimination.The yearbook supervisor says the content didn't violate any policies.
ProNews 7 has learned the teacher who oversaw the yearbook no longer holds that position.
School officials say that Carol Singletary announced her decision before the controversy happened. She says that she's no longer adviser of the student run publication, but she declined to answer any questions.
School Superintendent Rhonda Seidenwurm says Singletary resigned as the yearbook adviser about a month ago, before last week's controversy. Singletary is still a teacher for the high school. This will also be a topic at the Clovis school board meeting tonight. Seidenwurm says she expects area residents will be voicing their opinions on the subject during the open forum part of the meeting. That meeting starts at 5:30pm mountain time.
