  • Resumen

  • Facing a wave of backlash to its proposed Cultural Competence Action Plan, Southlake’s school board tries to find middle ground — but winds up angering everyone. The school board meeting room turns into a battleground, as scores of conservative parents line up to explain their objections to any changes to the curriculum or disciplinary measures designed to protect students of color. Behind the scenes, with the help of powerful figures like Texas GOP Chairman Allen West, a new political action committee begins work to stop what supporters say is a “liberal takeover” of their school district. They sue to put the diversity plan on hold, and their efforts catch the attention of conservatives outside Southlake.

    You can read the text of Carroll ISD’s draft diversity plan here.

Can't we all just get along?

I think that in a country as great in accomplishment as the US we cannot find it within ourselves to face the unpleasant truths of how we came to be. We will not be able to sit down and have civil discussions until we do. The US was built on racism and a belief of racial superiority. We are not quite 250yrs old. We have had many more years of legal and institutional and systemic genocide, slavery, black codes, jim crow, lynchings and oppression than the 57 years since the now abolished civil rights act was past. It is absolutely naive to argue that the group that had sole power in this country somehow just gave it up and said okay things are equal now. Those same people accuse those who speak up for justice by labeling them as woke should stop sleepwalking and WAKE UP! It is time to teach the truth so the children will have the empathy and understanding that our current leaders don't. Only then can we hold the truths as described in the Declaration of Independence self evident, that ALL men (mankind) are created equal.
