Trustees for the Houston-area school district are considering terminating a contract it signed in 2021 that would create a campus-based health clinic at Humble High School. Memorial Hermann says it does not provide gender-affirming care to anyone younger than age 18 and that parents must consent to any services provided at the clinic.
Twenty students from Humble Summer Creek High School were prevented from wearing colorful cultural sashes at their graduation ceremony, prompting accusations of discrimination from the Latino community.
What should have been a joyous occasion for 20 students was marred by controversy after an administrator demanded they remove their traditional Mexican stoles before crossing the stage.
A school district spokesperson says the 20 impacted students should have been allowed to wear their colorful stoles at Saturday's graduation ceremony, but added that the snafu "had nothing to do with race or culture."
