So many thoughts, not enough coffee yet ππ»ββοΈ He's apologizing for this incident making the news-not that they've been scaring teachers & gaslighting the community. The fact that they are going to continue implementing HB3979 & not fight it is the real problem. (Among many others)

If they actually "understood" (cared) about historical facts in books- they would not have allowed the school board to reprimand @farah_dragons in the first place. They chose the district's path in that terrifying moment. This was an inevitable conclusion.
Let's not forget that while the meeting Ledbetter refers to was taking place, he was busy telling parents that no such instruction was happening π 
THIS is the dystopia so many authors tried to warn us about in their books π
And that historians will write about for future generations of students, prompting them to ask "how did they let this happen?" Texas... HOW ARE WE LETTING THIS HAPPEN?
Southlake @Carrollisd is not an outlier. The values that led them down this anti-truth black hole are shared by so many districts in North Texas (and nationally). But they have the wealth/influence to destroy their opponents and set a precedent for everyone else. It's terrifying.
If Southlake @Carrollisd was truly concerned about implementing HB3979, they could exhibit a modicum of courage and fight for the right to teach truth and history. Michael Hinojosa and @dallasschools are models of brave leadership on this issue: wfaa.com/article/news/pβ¦
But they haven't and probably won't. Southlake shows that you can't buy moral fortitude.
