(Newark, USA) - The city schools superintendent apologized to a gay student Tuesday for having staffers black out a picture of the student kissing his boyfriend from the high school yearbook, calling the incident "a homophobic moment." Superintendent Marion A. Bolden said she spoke with senior Andre Jackson, 18, a day after she issued him a written apology that said she regretted the decision to censor his personal page in the East Side High School yearbook. Bolden said she arrived at the school Tuesday to find Mr. Jackson reluctant to speak with her, but that the two spoke after she made a public apology to the assembled students.
