Accusations of censorship versus complaints of political bias have set off a war of words over a North Texas school yearbook.

It looks like a typical school yearbook that 13-year-old Carissa Neunherz helped design for Downing Middle School in Flower Mound. But the back cover has created controversy which led to a teacher being placed on paid administrative leave.

There are references to the 2020 election, popular video games and the latest social media craze TikTok. They adorn the front and back cover of the latest yearbook put together by students at the school in Flower Mound.
