Cumberland Valley School Board Reinstates Maulik Pancholy's Anti-Bullying Speech

The decision comes after a narrow vote and significant community support for the actor and activist.

Following initial cancellation due to concerns over his 'lifestyle' and activism, actor Maulik Pancholy's anti-bullying speech at a Pennsylvania school is reinstated.
The Cumberland Valley School Board's decision was reversed by a 5-4 vote after hearing from numerous community members and students.
Pancholy, known for his roles in '30 Rock' and 'Weeds', advocates for LGBTQ and diversity issues through his speeches and children's books.
The actor expressed gratitude to supporters and emphasized the importance of inclusion and representation in his upcoming school visit.
The reinstatement highlights ongoing debates around educational content and inclusivity in school environments.
