IDRA has been supporting families and the Lubbock NAACP in Lubbock, Texas, since at least 2023 regarding persistent harassment and bullying against Black students in two districts. We helped some of the families file OCR complaints, which are now stuck due to the cuts at the U.S. Department of Education.
This work has been featured in two December 19 national news stories by Meredith Kolodner:
- Epithets and accusations: Probes into racism in schools stall under Trump, The Washington Post, December 19, 2025
- Probes into racism in schools stall under Trump, Hechinger Report, December 19, 2025
See more information on the work to end identity-based bullying.
