Jewish residents confront Southlake school board over Holocaust book guidance: 'There are not two sides'
a former student gave painful testimony about antisemitic bullying that he said he endured in the Carroll Independent School District.And many parents defended a district administrator who told teachers towhile also condemning that advice.
Monday’s school board meeting was the first time Southlake residents had a public forum to raise concerns about Peddy’s comment. More than 50 speakers addressed the board, many demanding that the district take steps to repair its reputation. A Jewish parent, Rob Forst, described himself as a descendent of Holocaust survivors and said his family is questioning whether they want to stay in Southlake. He called on Ledbetter to issue a stronger condemnation of Peddy’s comment, calling the remarks “completely unacceptable.”which books teachers can keep in their classroom libraries
“Make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust,” Peddy said, “that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives.”“Believe me,” Peddy said. “That’s come up.”A school district spokeswoman initially said Peddy’s advice was the result of the district’s efforts to comply with Senate Bill 3. State Sen.
“The administrator is not a Holocaust denier,” resident Katy Pratt said. “She made a mistake under duress. The focus should be on the law, not the administrator.” But on Oct. 4, the school board voted 3-2 to overturn the district’s decision and formally reprimanded the teacher, setting off unease among teachers who said they fear that the board will not protect them if parents complain about books in their classes.
