NEWS: Our legal partner @kimmiehermann has filed a lawsuit to stop critical race theory indoctrination in the Evanston/Skokie School District, which segregated teachers by race, compared "whiteness" to the devil, and claimed "to be less white is to be less oppressive."
Thread🧵
Last year, the Evanston/Skokie School District began forcing teachers to commit to "antiracism" and separating them into racially-segregating "affinity groups." Superintendent Devon Horton told teachers: "If you're not anti-racist, we can't have you in front of our students."
The district told teachers they must investigate their "whiteness," accept that white individuals are "loud" and "controlling," acknowledge that "white identity is inherently racist," and believe that "to be less white is to be less racially oppressive."
The district had children as young as kindergarten read "Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness," which depicts "whiteness" as the devil, luring whites with the promise of stolen land, riches, and privileges.
During BLM Week, the district shared materials with teachers and parents claiming that white children become racists by kindergarten, remaining "strongly biased in favor of whiteness" by the age of 5.
Last year, the Trump administration found that district blatantly violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
However, days after taking office, the Biden administration reversed this decision, greenlighting critical race theory indoctrination in the district.
The team at @SLF_Liberty has filed a lawsuit to stop this, arguing that racial segregation, stereotyping, and scapegoating violate the Civil Rights Act and Fourteenth Amendment. They will win this case—and shut down critical race theory indoctrination wherever it arises.
