DALLAS â Word started spreading on NextDoor, via text message and in Facebook groups. âHigh alert!â as parents cautioned each other that Plano school trustees would be voting to buy teaching materials that spread the ideas of critical race theory.
Dozens of parents came to protest outside of the May school board meeting, many carrying signs decrying âCRTâ and urging trustees to vote against a specific agenda item. Several testified, calling critical race theory an ideological cancer and a way of making kids feel bad.
By the end, board members appeared shocked.
The agenda item in question was a contract renewal for an elective college preparation course that helps students develop study skills. The AVID program has been in Plano and many area districts for more than a decade.
