That\u2019s because Southlake attracts high-achieving families of all races,\u201d Pullmann wrote. \u201cThe local median income is more than four times the national average and poverty there is statistically nonexistent. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/503806989\/Microaggression-Tracking-Report\">district data<\/a>, \u2018microaggressions,\u2019 bullying, and racially charged incidents happen approximately three times per month in the district of 8,500 students, meaning they involve 0.3 percent of students a year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But because of videos showing students singling along to rap lyrics and the media attention they received, the district overreached and instituted programs meant to combat \u201cinstitutional racism\u201d but that in reality shame white students for the color of their skin.<\/p>\n<p>The district adopted a \u201ccultural competence\u201d plan, Pullmann reported, after the videos went viral and \u201csometimes-crying taxpayers, parents, and students spent hours insisting their lives have been forever damaged by the kind of \u2018institutional racism\u2019 in Southlake illustrated by the rap sing-alongs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The complaints centered around teasing and graffiti, with those complaining demanding the school district treat the minor annoyances as if they were full-blown crimes. The rush to assume guilt was perpetuated by public figures, Pullman reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"28.475021910605\">\n<p><em>Retired Dallas Cowboys player Russell Maryland and Robin Cornish, the widow of another Cowboy, who both have kids in the district, used national media appearances to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2n_gDjlx0ak\">pressure<\/a>\u00a0the town to enact a \u201cCultural Competence Action Plan,\u201d or CCAP. A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/viral-video-forced-wealthy-texas-suburb-confront-racism-silent-majority-n1255230\">long-form article<\/a>\u00a0from NBC News in January that quotes Cornish accuses the town of harboring racists.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cornish also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.star-telegram.com\/news\/local\/education\/article225609435.html\">told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram<\/a>\u00a0in February 2019 the school district was \u201csweeping this under the carpet, and they are complicit. Unfortunately, this is the way our country is right now. Southlake is a microcosm of that. We have someone running the country right now who says it\u2019s OK to be racist.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe idea that America is fundamentally flawed because some people have a [racist] problem in their minds, that\u2019s a recipe to keep you in poverty and unhappiness for the rest of your life,\u201d said Juan Saldivar, a father of a Southlake student, to explain his opposition to restructuring Southlake schools around \u201csystemic racism.\u201d \u201cMy parents always told me it doesn\u2019t matter whether people like you, it matters whether the law protects you, and it does.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Parents haven\u2019t been happy about the school\u2019s training, with local parents organizing into a group to oppose CCAP. As Pullman reported, the CCAP teaches that anyone who dares to see everyone equally regardless of race are instigating \u201ccultural blindness,\u201d which is bad, in their view.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite privilege is being able to navigate daily life in the American culture without having to think about race,\u201d said a slide shown at a 2019 retreat to Carroll administrators. Another slide asked administrators \u201cWhat does it mean for you to be white?\u201d and urged them to \u201cTake a moment to talk with your neighbor about \u2018Whiteness.\u2019\u201d They were also asked to \u201cName some characteristics of white culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During these discussions, Pullman reported, \u201cadministrators were also told that being white is a bad thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt includes \u2018white fragility,\u2019 \u2018a state in which even a minimal amount of racial stress becomes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves (anger, fear, guilt.. silence),\u2019 Pullman reported. \u201cIronically, the presentation also warns against \u2018stereotyping,\u2019 which it says \u2018happens when you generalize about a person while ignoring the presence of individual differences.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One parent, Juan Saldivar, told Pullman that he didn\u2019t want his kids taught this because it was \u201cpoison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did everything I could to get my child into [Carroll] and it\u2019s No. 1 in Texas, and I say I do not want my child growing up with this stuff being injected into her brain because it\u2019s poison,\u201d he said in an interview. \u201cIt\u2019s the seeds of destruction that ruin one\u2019s ability to grow up happy and be a leader in society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
