The student body of Fairmont demands that the administrator gives us back the freedom of our Chromebook backgrounds. Advertisement is a healthy practice, but should not be forced upon all students in a school setting by our superiors.

im still hearing from so many of you about how frustrating it is to have these forced backgrounds on our screens every day. i have been emailing the admin office to ask for a meeting so we can talk about why this feels so wrong for us. they havent gotten back to me yet but i promise i wont stop pushing until someone actually listens.

I am a feminist, and this is invented by white men, and I am now offended. Please, my 17 children need food, so remove this at once.
I hate having to full screen my gallery with my background as the picture to keep my sanity.
While I understand the need for advertisement. No warning was given for this change. Taking away the ability to change back to our original backgrounds is a restriction of freedom of speech.
Computer backgrounds may seem trivial, but the sudden change without warning comes across as invasive, purposeless, and obnoxious.
Why would you even do this. This gives us no individuality. Forcing a universal wallpaper makes everyone the same, and if everyone is the same then nothing is exciting or interesting.
Lol someone made my idea a reality :)
boiiiii

This is stupid I had a really cool background and it was changed for something I don't care about.
