Two paragraphs will do to explain my lack of respect here. In one, Ragland says:
Ragland offers no evidence that anyone in RISD is "acting like the sky is falling." What apparently set Ragland off was the RISD's pro forma legal response to the lawsuit, denying that the RISD is breaking the law. D'oh. What did Ragland expect the legal response to be? "Oh, you're right, you caught us breaking the law. We surrender. Now dictate the terms of our surrender." Instead, the RISD's legal response is the standard response to any lawsuit. Any other response would amount to legal malpractice on the part of RISD's legal team.Richardson ISD officials must stop acting like the sky is falling and start talking about how to fix the problems Tyson raised in his lawsuit.

At the same time the RISD is answering the lawsuit in court, Ragland himself offers evidence that the RISD is also doing exactly as Ragland suggests: "start talking about how to fix the problems Tyson raised." Ragland himself quotes RISD spokesman:
What's really important here is what's happening out of the public eye. I don't have inside information about the discussions between RISD and David Tyson's lawyers. And apparently James Ragland doesn't either. If James Ragland really wants to do some real journalism, that's the story he'd be digging for. Discussions between the RISD and David Tyson's lawyers are underway to resolve the lawsuit, as Chris Moore says, in the best way possible for everyone involved. And that includes David Tyson and the minority communities he is doing this for. Things might still come to a standstill, but how about we chill until we know?"We are looking at how to resolve this lawsuit in the best way possible for everyone involved," RISD spokesman Chris Moore said Friday.
