Carroll Independent School DistrictNBC News
•79% Informative
The U.S. Department of Education is seeking to negotiate with the Carroll Independent School District in Southlake , Texas , over four students’ civil rights complaints.
The development comes three years after NAACP filed federal complaints on behalf of students who said Carroll officials failed to protect them from harassment.
The four students reported to the Education Department that they had been subjected to a barrage of racist and homophobic slurs and comments during their years at Carroll .
Some local activists have called on the district to fight back against what they see as federal overreach.
They have spread unsubstantiated theories that the federal investigation was launched in retaliation against conservatives opposed to critical race theory.
An Education Department spokesperson said the agency’s work is “in no way retaliatory and OCR serves as a neutral fact-finder”.
