Death Threats and Doxxing: The Outcomes of Mask Mandate and Critical Race Theory Fights at a Texas

School Board

When Roxanne Martinez launched her campaign for a seat on the school board in 2020 she thought that if she won, she could help schools tackle the problem of students’ learning gaps following more than a year of disruptions caused by the pandemic. Or she could help look for new ways to support teachers during this difficult period.

What Martinez had not counted on was a disruption of a different sort, mainly from elected state leaders.

Since her election this past summer to the Fort Worth Independent School District board, the 41-year-old’s entry into local politics has been a scorching trial by fire, thanks to the Legislature’s focus on how racial inequity is taught in public schools and whether or not schools require students to wear masks during class.

“There’s been all of this distraction going on this year when our educators have been working double duty just to educate our students,” she said.
