Controversy

The school district implemented a ban on all "Gay/Lesbian" content on the internet in the early 2006-2007 school year after distributing laptops to every student for educational purposes. The ban existed to prevent students from using the laptops to view "Gay/Lesbian" content. This ban blocked sites such as pflag.org and many websites that were needed for lessons in US History to Senior Connections.
The Gay Straight Alliance at Shorecrest High school fought this ban and tried to bring this discrimination to the eyes of the public. When the noticeable Shorecrest High school paper did an expose on the story the district removed the ban and claimed no wrongdoing whatsoever.
