They Came for the Schools
Description
In an exclusive audio excerpt from Chapter 1 of “They Came for the Schools: One Town's Fight Over Race and Identity, and the New War for America's Classrooms,” author Mike Hixenbaugh uncovers Southlake’s history, demonstrating how policies meant to protect the town from outside development a half-century ago helped plant the seeds for conflicts over diversity, equity and inclusion—conflicts that are now tearing apart suburbs across the nation.

To say systemic racism doesn't exist is to be blinded by reality. My father died on Grapevine lake in the mid 70's. The best thing my mother did was move us to SOCAL. I'm ashamed to having been born in Texas. I lived in Southlake my senior year of highschool but attended Grapevine HS. I recall many instances of white privilege. Carroll HS is and always will be racist (unless they need a talented African American on the football team) Akin to BYU accepting black players (people) into their cult.
