Missouri school district employees sue over allegedly unconstitutional 'equity' training
Fox News
Two employees of Missouri's largest school district are alleging that so-called "equity" trainings violated their constitutional rights by forcing them to endorse certain beliefs about race – adding to the already-mounting legal scrutiny of attempts to push critical race theory (CRT) and its associated ideas.
Springfield Public Schools (SPS), according to the lawsuit, also threatened to revoke credit for the training if employees didn't "participate completely." In doing so, it purportedly set up an "unconstitutional condition of employment" and chilled district employees' speech. The federal lawsuit reads: "Plaintiffs and all other similarly situated staff risk employment penalties for exercising their right to avoid messages with which they disagree and express messages with which they do agree."More Related News
