Protesters at 'Liberty Rally' call for end of Fort Worth schools' race equity programs [View all]

After more than a year of claiming that the Fort Worth school district is teaching critical race theory and indoctrinating students, a group of demonstrators Tuesday zeroed in on eliminating the district’s racial equity initiatives.

About 50 people gathered at a “Liberty Rally” and some spoke out during the school board meeting’s public comment, calling for the disbandment of the district’s Racial Equity Committee and the Division of Equity and Excellence.

Nate Schatzline, a Republican who’s running to replace Matt Krause in the state legislature, claimed that these programs perpetuate racism, a claim echoed by state Republicans.

“Has this program, that gets fed millions of dollars per year, has it actually helped minority students?” he said.
