Parents of students at the Texas Center for Arts + Academics charter schools in Fort Worth are seeking the resignation of board chair Cheryl Bean. A post on her political campaign Facebook account sparked the call for her to step down. The post, which has since been deleted, was viewed as offensive and racially motivated by parents.
The post featured an AI-generated image, but details of its content are limited. It is known that the image depicted a WNBA player and her teammates in a scene modeled after a historic painting. Further information about the incident and the image can be found through the Fort Worth Report.
The school's leadership has not indicated whether any actions will be taken regarding Bean's position as board chair.
