Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
The kids have walked out of DISD classes again. I can look outside my window, at the corner of Oak Lawn and Maple avenues, and see a steady stream of students–probably some 50 or 60–walking south on Maple Avenue, hollering and waving their arms. A couple are carrying Mexican flags; a police car is trailing them. OK. The first day’s a protest; the second day is called skipping school. –Julie Lyons
