red oak ISD withdrawing Obama speech(after scheduling it)

any other school districts in Texas?

But Red Oak is home to one of the larger KKK segments here in Texas, so it really is not a norm to consider.

L-

White Oak, Lone Oak, what's the difference? I presume the decisions were made by the school boards, and I know of no school board in Texas with a lick o' sense. There's a lot of all-white school districts though.

Red Oak is 5% "African-American" - and that is not a guess. (Census data is easily located.)

used to be in the boonies....not so much any more.
It used to be rural.....has housing expansion all around like most far outlying suburbia.
It's right on 35 and traffic really sux now. BAD.


Not surprising, really.

HISD is leaving it up to administrators and teachers.

Just one snippet ought to show how dangerous this really is for young minds:

I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.
But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.

MY GOD! Can you imagine the nerve saying that success may take work!!! This is definitely why this should be banned anywhere and everywehre - I had to take a shower right after reading it myself! No child should be subjected to this!!!





Do I need the sarcasm tag? If so, schools in Texas are worse than I thought....

developing a fever as of this evening.
