With the "audacious faith" of Martin Luther King
Jr., we must continue our push for equity.

I was deeply saddened and offended to hear the comments made by
Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District Board Member Scott
Henry. His comments are unacceptable, and I recommend that he resign
immediately.
Suggesting that having more Black teachers in a school district can create
an increase in the dropout rate or a decline in classroom achievement is
despicable. The rich diversity that resides in our city and region unites us
more than ever.
We should not tolerate those who seek to divide, but rather work with
everyone to ensure equal opportunities of educational access for all.

Mayor Sylvester Turner statement on comments made by Cypress
Fairbanks ISD Board Member Scott Henry

Happy holidays to everyone!
