No. It made news because of the apparent unfair treatment of the two individuals involved. Did you read the entire piece? The white kid’s father is on the school board (or board of trustees) and is allegedly using his influence to protect his kid. Story has nothing to do with Texas.
Apparently you have missed all the recent stories about supposed “racism” in Coppell schools and neighboring districts such as Southlake.
I don't know what the argument was about, but it appears (just guessing) that the chair at lunch was in dispute, and the bigger boy with the long hair removed the other boy from the chair while mutual friends laughed.
Wrong!
I raised two boys and they never did this to eachother.
What is the significance of this happening in Coppell, Texas?
There has been a great deal of recent controversy about treatment of minorities in certain wealthy districts around DFW, such as Coppell and nearby districts like Carroll ISD (Southlake) and Grapevine-Colleyville ISD.

slow your role here. Coppell is majority minority. This isnt a school district with 4 minority kids and 10k white kids. Whites make up 36% of the population.
As for the Southlake and the Colleyvill ISD controversies, they are directly and specifically linked to teaching CRT in the school district and parents being up in arms.

What?
No, this got hyped due to typical liberal “Texas is racist” BS.
I actually lived in the area so I don’t need to look up stats to understand anything. How about you?
Warms my heart to know that the student of indian descent became acceptably "brown" for just long enough to be useful to call white people racist by some fools on Twitter.
The minute he takes his SAT, he'll be back to being "white".

No truer words typed my friend.
My son had a friend who was of mixed race. He could pass for Black or Hispanic and picked whichever one got him the most at that moment.
He was very open about it too and at 16 knew all the ins and outs of using race to his advantage.
