Carroll ISD Delays Adoption of LGBTQ “Cultural Competence” Plan

Carroll ISD met Monday evening and heard 3 hours of testimony from over 100 people on the “Cultural Competence Action Plan” (CCAP). Texas Values Action team members testified in opposition, along with many parents of Carroll ISD students, and members of the Southlake Carroll community. Many expressed concerns over how this plan threatens the religious liberty of students who hold Christian values, pits students against each other, and would cause division and infighting instead of unity. Some parents specifically called it out as a “pre-packed plan with a political agenda.”

After the Board was unable to secure the votes needed to immediately adopt and implement the LGBTQ plan, they instead voted 5-2 to simply “receive” the plan and take it under further study through board workshops. It’s notable the board was so confused that they changed course and refused to adopt this plan. While it would have been better if they directly voted it down, we will continue to fight for parents and students in Carroll ISD who oppose this forced radical LGBTQ agenda because this issue is not over.
