There are new calls for change in Carroll Independent School District after a federal report found civil rights violations against students following claims of racism and bullying.“Carroll ISD, Carroll school board specifically, you’re now on the clock,” said Russell Maryland at a press conference Tuesday.
Together, the groups are calling on the district to negotiate in good faith with the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights to find a resolution. CREED and SARC say the complaints describe incidents where students were subjected to racial slurs, homophobic comments, and other verbal and physical harassment on the basis of race, gender identity and sexual harassment.The groups are now calling on the district to address what it calls a “hostile environment” for marginalized students.
The Department of Education probe follows years of conflict between those pushing to provide protections for minority students and voters who opposed a diversity plan.“It’s not too late to change course. The district has been given the perfect opportunity to instate long overdue change,” said Carroll ISD graduate and SARC member Anya Kushwasha.
