NAACP Legal Defense Fund files federal civil rights complaint against Carroll Independent School District

by Brian Lopez, Texas Tribune


The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund on Tuesday filed a federal civil rights complaint against the Carroll Independent School District for failing to protect students from discrimination based on their race, sex or gender identity.

The complaint was filed with the U.S. Department of Education on behalf of two groups formed by Black Carroll ISD parents and students in the affluent North Texas suburb: Cultural & Racial Equity for Every Dragon and Southlake Anti-Racism Coalition.

It is the fourth such complaint against the district.

The Department of Education already had opened three investigations into allegations of racial and gender discrimination at Carroll ISD in Southlake in November 2021. The investigations came about a month after a Carroll ISD administrator asked teachers to provide an “opposing” view of the Holocaust in order to comply with a new Texas state law that was passed during last year's legislative session with little guidance, prompting confusion among Texas educators.

“My profound hope is that this complaint will finally wake CISD up to the reality that ensuring a safe learning environment is not only their moral responsibility but also their legal obligation,” Russell Maryland, a member of Cultural & Racial Equity for Every Dragon, said in a statement.
