Confederate Controversy Sparks Changes at North Texas High School

Posted on July 31, 2015

Garland ISD spokesman Chris Moore said “We are a minority-majority school now. We are here to unite, not divide.”

That's uniting?

Texas students, never the strongest in language arts.

May I suggest "the Lions", instead? Or "the Teal"--then they could use either just the color or the bird as their mascot.
