School apologizes for removing gay kiss from yearbook

Under the category of how times are changing, officials at a Newark, N. J. school have apologized to a high school student for removing a picture of him kissing another male student:

Andre Jackson, the student, said he was disappointed that the superintendent had not delivered the apology face-to-face and in public. Because of that, he said he didn't accept it as sincere.

"I would accept an apology -- a public apology," said Jackson, 18.


The school not only apologized, but said it would pay for providing copies of the yearbook with the photo to any student who asked for one.
