"At the official senior class photo shoot, hundreds of seniors were seated in the bleachers in the school gym, with students in the front row wearing t-shirts that spelled out the words, "Class of 2026, Always Legit." Following the shoot, eight of the students rearranged themselves to spell out the LGBTQ+ slur, with two more female classmates seated behind them in support. Arms over shoulders, the group of young men and women all smiled broadly."
"Several students in the gym snapped photos of the display, and the "prank" went viral on social. "A lot of people at school, including the senior class, are really upset about the ignorant and rash actions of people who were in the photo," one Redwood High senior told KFSN News. "They are widely known in school. They're supposed to be leading by example with the clubs that they run and represent, and people are just really mad because online things can surface really fast," she said."
Ten seniors at Redwood High School spelled a homophobic slur across t-shirts during a senior class photo opportunity at a school assembly, prompting blowback from fellow students and the wider community. Visalia Unified School District announced that disciplinary action had been taken over the hateful slur. The display occurred at the end of a senior photo op near an eighth-grade orientation; earlier that day two eighth-grade boys were reported holding hands, a claim others refuted. Several students photographed the display, the image spread on social media, and many students expressed upset that well-known student leaders engaged in the prank.
