Emma’s High School
Emma Stein’s high school, Evanston Township High, was one of the early adopted of Oregon NOW’s model policy. After the massive protest the students held, the school’s principle Campbell decided to do some research and he found NOW’s policy. After the superintendent signed off on the policy, it was officially put into place.
The Policy In Effect
Campbell went on the share: “I remember last year, a Latinx-identifying kid wore a sombrero two days in a row. Seeing him signals that it’s a different kind of school where kids can be free to wear what they want to wear, to express themselves, as long as it doesn’t glorify hate speech or violence, those kinds of things.”
