'''Homophobia''': The 2001-2002 yearbook, "Panorama" had a theme of "Firsts", as this was the year of the first graduation in the school's history. To fit this theme, students in English classes were invited to share "firsts" in their lives, in the form of written essays to be placed in the yearbook. One such essay was one written by a male homosexual student about his experience of “coming out” for the first time. This particular essay sparked outrage in the Cinco Ranch High School community as parents as well as faculty members took up arms about this display of sexual orientation. Amidst many other technical errors overlooked by the publishing company of the yearbook, the publisher agreed to reprint some 1,800 copies. The reprint included corrections to technical errors, as well as the removal (and some would argue [[censorship]]) of many student-written stories, particularly the controversial "coming-out" story. <ref>Student Press Law Center (2002).
