Allegations of overt racism aimed at Cy-Fair ISD trustee - What's Your Point?
HOUSTON - Allegations of overt racism exploded this week after newly elected Cy-Fair ISD board member Scott Henry appeared to link the large number of African American teachers employed neighboring Houston ISD with sub-par academic performance.
In a spontaneous burst of outrage - Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo, and many others joined the NAACP in demanding Henry's resignation.
Board member Henry has refused - saying the allegation against him is "a lie" - that he did not link black teachers to poor performance in the classroom.
