Some Carroll ISD Parents Continue to Blast a Proposed Diversity Plan: ‘At its core is racist’

Carroll, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – The issue of a diversity plan to combat perceived discrimination within the Carol ISD has stalled.

Some parents want the project know as the Cultural Competence Action Plan (or CCAP) scrapped.

Among comments at last night’s special meeting of Carroll ISD Board of Trustees, a number of parents voiced opposition to the plan:

“CCAP at it’s core is racist,” another said, “It’s time to scrap CCAP,” and yet another said, “The purpose of CCAP is to impose a leftist world view.”

Meantime, former Dallas Cowboys star Russell Maryland, whose 3 children attended Carroll ISD schools, sits on the over 60-member panel of parents and others that devised the plan.

He told WFAA-TV, “Right now we’re in a fight for our lives, we’re in a fight for our kids lives.”

The need for a plan arose after a two videos within a couple of months went viral of Carroll ISD students using slurs.

Maryland says the issue is Carroll ISD’s own “pandemic.”

Watch the full meeting:

According to WFAA, the Cultural Competence Action Plan (CCAP) “establishes diversity and LGBT focus groups and allows them the ability to voice concerns with what they’re experiencing in school. It proposes auditing the curriculum to see if it can be made more inclusive, creates campaigns and training to bring more awareness of the district’s diversity and a new system to track and reduce discriminatory bullying, including microaggressions.”
