Bean Faces Pressure Over Controversial Post | Dallas News
Description
Parents are demanding Texas school board chair Cheryl Bean step down after a now-deleted AI-generated Facebook post sparked outrage—depicting Black WNBA players with floaties while white players didn’t, seen by many as racially insensitive. Bean, a GOP House nominee, called it a humorous jab at unsportsmanlike conduct, admitting her team missed the imagery. The petition, with over 1,400 signatures, calls for accountability, clearer social media guidelines, and reaffirmed commitments to inclusion. The superintendent acknowledged the petition but won’t comment on upcoming board discussions. Bean apologized, saying racism has no place in society, but parents say this isn’t the first concerning post—and they’re calling for consistent leadership standards.
