HARROLD — An unlikely
battleground over whether
public schools must allow
transgender students to use

taking shape in two tiny towns

AUSTIN - Baylor Univer-

review found administrators
mishandled allegations of sex-

was above the rules.
The largest Baptist school
in the U.S. took the first steps
Thursday when regents demot-

Starr, a former prosecutor who
investigated the Bill Clinton-
Monica Lewinsky scandal, and
fired football coach Art Briles,
who turned the football pro-

a Big 12 powerhouse.
But that may not end the
scrutiny.
More fallout could be com-

More rain is coming.
There’s a 90 percent chance
of rain the rest of the day and
60 percent tonight, according
to the National Weather Ser-
vice office in Shreveport.
Henderson received 1.28
inches of rain for the 24-hour
period that ended at 6 a.m.
today, according to the NWS.
For the month, Henderson
has received 2.57 inches of
rain.
So far this year, the NWS
has measured 27.99 inches of
rain in Henderson. The aver-

Eleven states suing the
Obama administration claim
that a new federal directive
about transgender students
thrusts “seismic changes” upon

But only two districts joined

class of four, and the Heber-

Leon Harris (above), president of Keep Henderson
Beautiful, and Cheryl Jimerson, secretary of KHB and
City of Henderson community development manager,
gave an update to Rotary Club Thursday.
Henderson Rotary Club
Thursday heard an update
from Leon Harris and Cheryl
Jimerson about Keep Hender-
son Beautiful.
The organization, which
was formed in 2008, is an affil-
iate of Keep Texas Beautiful,
which has been in operation
since 1985, Harris told club
members.
“We found there was an
opportunity here in Hender-
son to establish a similar type
group,” he said.
The group focuses on litter
prevention, beautification and
waste reduction throughout
the city. Its operating budget
is around $25,000 and that
money is generated through
private donations and in-kind
donations from City of Hen-
derson. When a project arises,
the group buys local.
“We try very hard to shop
local, and pretty much always
in East Texas,” Harris said,

POSTSCRIPT
Times have changed. I’m
not sure any college football
coach survives a report like
the one released Thursday
by Baylor University. Things
such as “running their own
‘untrained’ investigations”
into allegations of sexual
assaults committed by foot-
ball players could still be
done 20 years ago. Folks
won’t stand for it today.
