Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming HIGHLAND PARK ISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.

WATCH (LEVEL 4)

Requires Verification

Potentially Ideological Book on Vague Agenda

📅 October 20, 2026

Under the vague heading ‘EFB (LOCAL) Required Approvals,’ the board is set to approve a long list of elementary school books. Included on this list is ‘Elisibeth: A Story of Celebrating Differences,’ a title that signals potential social-emotional or DEI-related themes that parents may wish to review before they are approved for young students.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the HPISD Board of Trustees (see the district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 5.A, I request that the book “Elisibeth: A Story of Celebrating Differences” be pulled for individual review and discussion. Parents deserve transparency on materials that introduce complex social topics to young students.’
