aturday night, Fairview High School held its annual homecoming dance, but this year, the celebration was the subject of controversy. 

Prior to the dance, upperclassmen students voted a transgender girl, Sammi, as this year’s homecoming queen. 

It’s a vote that didn’t sit well with some in the community, sparking what some are calling harassment on social media directed at the queen, students and school staff. 

“There was a lot of hate saying that Sammi, being a transgender individual, was taking the spot from somebody who was born female,” said Logan Thompson, student council secretary. “They were behaving erratically due to the results of our homecoming court.”
