I wished the school would pick education but I'm not hopeful
it's texas, in a county entirely run by (R)acists.
you already know what they 'picked'.
In this case at least, the State of Texas is on the right side of history, they passed the Crown Act to protect black students from this BS school policy shit.
It's the school that's actually... get this... too racist for the State of Texas.
I mean, if by "right side of history" you mean history from May of this year.

Well they really took their time to get there and in many things, i think they haven't even started walking, but at least they are there in this now.
But yeah, Texas isnt cough cough the most progressive place cough cough, which makes "too racist even for Texas" very meaningful.
I do completely agree with your overall point, just had to point out that it was a very recent change.
The option that provides more freedom because red states are more free right????
I wish the state would pick education…
The state has, at least in cases like this. Texas passed the Crown Act. This racist district is ignoring the law.
From the article:
I'll note that there's no federal equivalent to the Crown Act. Does that mean that congress is more racist than Texas?
Would explain a fucking lot, to be honest.
