the evidence seems plentiful and high-quality. parts of the deep South are really weird and terrifying like this. there's snake-handling churches in the Georgia county my dad grew up in. the Baptist church was desegregated in the late '90s, and a school in another area apparently had segregated proms in the 2000s.
but then there's also Atlanta which is hip and developed. so the big metro areas are fine, things just get real weird in the sticks.

#7Sorry but with the limited time children have, I would rather they spend any available time on practical material like STEM, rather than material of limited rigor pushed by activists. I have nothing against a factual historical education, but we already have social studies for that. I have no doubt these new ethnic studies classes will be used to push controversial, poorly evidenced concepts like “white privilege” and “systemic racism”. The injection of grievance studies into public education is tantamount to turning them into indoctrination centers.

Rutherford County, TN isn't Deep South or even particularly rural; with a population of more than a third of a million, it's a one of the primary suburban/exurban appendages of metro Nashville and is home to the 2nd largest university in the state.
I don't see any reason to doubt the veracity of the story, though; it seems pretty well investigated and reported.
