A San Antonio charter school teacher was recently fired for wearing a “Black Lives Matter” mask. Although Great Hearts Western Hills deemed this message inappropriate for a teacher to wear, Hays County Independent School District and Wimberley Independent School District do not have similar views on the matter.
“Nothing in the Hays CISD dress code,” wrote Tim Savoy, chief communications officer at Hays CISD, “would prohibit staff or students from wearing apparel including facem asks, with either the Black Lives Matter or LGBTQ logos or insignia. Hays CISD strives to be an inclusive and safe environment for all. The district believes that the least possible restriction, in terms of dress code, is the most conducive to allowing people the freedom to express themselves.”
