Black-only meeting of Klein students stirs segregation concerns

Black-only meeting of Klein students stirs segregation concerns | abc13.com
Parents from one local high school now say school officials are stirring up problems where there aren't any.

This morning, Klein Oak High School held what it called a Unity meeting. Some parents say they're upset because only African-American students were allowed to attend.


"I asked my child not to attend the meeting," said parent Latanya Rhodes.

Rhodes is not happy that Klein Oaks would hold a Unity meeting solely for African-American students, a meeting she knew nothing about until our reports this morning.
    ...All African American students were invited to today's celebration meeting, termed Unity, Understanding the Needs and Interest of Today's Youth but they were not required to attend. Topics revolved around how they can be successful academically and included motivational speakers followed by open dialogue. ..
