Keller ISD reverses decision, allows 'The Laramie Project' school play to go on

A high school play that was canceled at a Keller ISD school is back on.The decision to bring it back comes nearly a week after a show of support for the play from students and staff at Timber Creek High School. After a heated Keller ISD board meeting last week, theater students at Timber Creek HS didn’t hear anything from the district, so they assumed they may have lost this battle.

"As leaders, you should be held to a higher standard. In a time like this, we need honesty and transparency," Moltenbrey said at the meeting.Dozens of classmates, other parents, and Timber Creek employees joined them. "I would like to be given a good reason why it was denied and revoked," another student said at the meeting.The production of The Laramie Project is about the community aftermath of the 1998 murder of Matthew Shephard, a gay student at the University of Wyoming.
