The Lynchburg school board rejected a grant teens won from It Gets Better, a nonprofit founded to prevent LGBTQ+ youth suicide.
The applicants made it clear the space wouldn’t be just for LGBTQ+ students. It would be for anyone who needs to “just breathe for a second,” said one of the students who confronted the adults Nov. 14.

The grant asks for just one thing — that they identify the sponsors, something that every grant does, one school board member reminded the room. In this case, it would be with one simple phrase anywhere in the space: “It Gets Better.”

At least they know for sure it’ll get better when they leave Lynchburg.
If a writer named the town with the comically evil school board 'Lynchburg,' people would probably think it was too obvious.
You know that it's named that because the founder is John Lynch, right?
People had the name long before anyone associated it to murder...
Lynching was named after Charles Lynch, John's brother who was a judge who punished British loyalists without due process. It's a much closer association than you portray.
I see you haven't responded to the person who educated you, after you tried to gaslight strangers (intentionally or not). Any response?
Edit: sorry! Just looked at your post history, you're actually just an inflammatory troll! I didn't mean to treat you like an actual person, my mistake :)
I’ll award you half a point for being technically correct until his brother came along.
John Lynch was born in 1971
Lynching has been in use since 1836
Correct
