The coalition includes the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, the ACLU, the Houston NAACP among others stating the takeover is potential voting rights violation.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas, the ACLU, the Houston NAACP, LULAC #19, and the Greater Houston Coalition for Justice file a complaint with the Department of Justice demanding an investigation into the Texas Education Agency’s takeover of Houston ISD.
In a letter to the DOJ, the group writes that their effort is on behalf of HISD parents and voters Kenyette Johnson, Anna Chuter, Kourtney Revels, and Audrey Nath. “The TEA’s actions raise serious concerns that it is intentionally discriminating against Houston voters of color and denying or abridging their existing right to vote for HISD trustees,” the complaint letter reads.
