let s bring in one of the reporters working on the story more than a year. national investigative reporter mike hicksenbaugh. what s been the reaction to the election results and why is this appointment so significant? what does this mean for the makeup of the school board now? well, at this point, candidates who campaigned on a platform against, as you put it, critical race theory have a 4-3 majority. any hope of passing the diversity plan is over and now the board will be able to implement their agenda throughout the district. so we know how a lot of adults in southlake feel. what about the students, the kids, how do they feel? the few students that i ve talked to have been campaigning for this plan, and for more radical changes, frankly. they re disappointed. some of the recent graduates are really heartbroken.
