Texas School Trustees Spar Over Diversity Poster for Kids
During a discussion about appropriate decoration in schools, trustees of a Texas school district discussed whether a child had been disturbed by a poster showing “racially colored hands.”
The exchange, first reported by Texas’s ABC13, took place at an August 1 meeting of the Conroe Independent School District board of trustees. During that conversation, about the “presence of personal ideology in schools,” some trustees raised concerns about classroom decorations—namely those with rainbows and a poster about racial inclusivity.
Trustee Melissa Dungan told the board that she’d received complaints about signage in classrooms.
