The amendment, which was passed 5-1, means the statement will simply say the district “does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age in its programs and activities.”Michael WilliamsSOUTHLAKE — The code of conduct for Southlake students will strike references to gender identity, sexual orientation and religion in its nondiscrimination statement, the Carroll ISD school board voted Monday.
The Monday vote was opposed by advocacy groups and more than a dozen parents who described the change as an attempt by the Carroll ISD board to weaken protections for students with non-straight, non-cisgender and non-Christian identities. During public comment, 13 people, including parents of current and former LGBTQ Carroll students, spoke against the amendment. Three of the parents referenced a fight that took place at a Carroll ISD school last week that they claimed involved one student calling another a racial slur.
“Where does it all end?” asked another speaker in favor of the changes, Juan Saldivar. “Where is the limit in ‘plus’ to LGBTQI-plus-whatever?”
