    Did UIl sign off on that?

    UIL doesnt control how individual ISD's handle their business..there are many ISD's which are open enrollment...if the kids get there early enough they are eligible after 365 days regardless of what the PAPF says...so if a 9th grader who was never gonna play varsity moves in and isn't eligible as a freshman he'll be eligible as a sophomore

    Just got back to my hotel, great atmosphere and great game...its still very early but that was IMO two really good teams going at it...WOS people have high standards, I get it and they aren't used to LCM going toe to toe very often, but Peevey has that thing rolling....the game was close because LCM is pretty dang good...kudos to both teams, that was fun

    Don’t confuse a majority Black campus by population with a historically Black school.

    For a history lesson, it goes back to a Supreme Court ruling 130 years ago in Plessy v. Ferguson. In that ruling the Supreme Court said that concept of “separate but equal” was not in itself discrimination and so state mandated segregation of the races was not unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. (passed in 1868, right after the Civil War)

    So some states allowed or mandated separate schools for Blacks.

    Those separate schools were because Blacks weren’t allowed in other schools. That was the legality of the then historical Black schools.

    My mother graduated from Beaumont High School which was a (one of the) White campus in BISD and it later merged with Charlton-Pollard also of BISD, the historical Black school for that district. That created BCP. 

    BCP then later combined with the other BISD high school, French, to form Central.  (French was for a short time in FISD) So what was eventually Central high school was the combination of the two White high schools of BISD and the Black high school. So French ISD was taken into Beaumont ISD which was later taken into South Park ISD to form today’s BISD which started as 3 different districts.

     I believe that is the meaning of a historical Black school. It was a school created by forced segregation.

     That was overturned 62 years later by the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education, although I think it took the Civil Rights of 1964 to start enforcing  it. 

    Bingo...great history lesson......

    I got mine in the mail about three weeks ago. I'm not sure why it takes so much longer to roll them out to the stores down there.

    The printer we normally used didnt have paper due to supply chain issues, so we had to pivot to a different printer with about two weeks notice...they were only able to print about 10,000 magazines (we typically print 150k)......so we prioritized subscribers to get their magazines first....the normal print run ended last week and magazines were picked up by distributors over the weekend....so now its just a matter of those middle men getting the magazines to retail and then retail putting them out..because our printer is in Carrollton I imagine DFW stores probably will have them in more supply early on while outlying areas will get them a little later depending on delivery schedules etc.....
