On September 5, 2003 The Dallas Morning News reported that "school administrators...moved the date of Carroll Senior High School's homecoming football game because a parent complained that it was set during...Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year. Carroll school board President Robin Snyder said Friday that Superintendent Gary Mathews made the decision earlier this summer after parents of a high school student worried that their child – and other Jewish students – would have to choose between participating in the game and their religious observances...Meanwhile, some parents said the issue is part of a pattern of religious and ethnic insensitivity on the part of Carroll school district administrators and teachers. 'It's endemic,' said Dennis Gerson, chairman of the Community Relations Committee at Congregation Beth Israel, which meets in Colleyville. 'It's the problem of being a minority religion in an 80 to 90 percent Christian school district.'"
