Good morning y’all,

A few of weeks ago I told y’all about a pro-immigrant art exhibit that was unexpectedly dismantled at the University of North Texas. The artist wasn’t notified by the university that his exhibit had closed, nor was he ever given a reason as to why. Well, now we have more information thanks to a text exchange between UNT President, Provost, and the school’s vice president of brand strategy and communications. Check out the exchanges here.

Spring break is just around the corner—and parents have to figure out how to fill seven days with no school! Luckily, the Dallas-Fort Worth area has tons of kid-friendly spring activities for families to enjoy together.

Walk around the Dallas Zoo, open for extended hours this time of year, or take the kids to a unique entertainment experience, such as Peppa Pig World of Play or Netflix House Dallas. Have a picnic among spring tulips or sign your kids up for a spring break camp.

Whether you are looking for educational activities or pure family fun, there is so much to do in DFW this spring. Check out a few of the places I’ve enjoyed visiting with my kids—ages 8, 7, and 4.
