CDC sued for withholding records between top personnel and teachers' unions on school reopenings
Fox News
A watchdog group is suing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) over its failure to produce communications between top agency brass and teachers' unions over school reopenings.
"A few months back, Americans for Public Trust requested documents from the CDC. However, the CDC released only a handful of pages out of hundreds of documents received," said Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of APT. "And that small portion revealed the teachers' unions influenced the CDC to keep our schools closed." According to a copy of the complaint provided to Fox News, APT alleges the government agencies have violated the Freedom of Information Act by failing to "completely fulfill" a February records request for "emails, communications, correspondence, and talking points describing CDC guidance" for reopening schools. In response to the request, the CDC had identified 400 pages of responsive records but only released 63 pages in full while redacting 148 pages in total. The remaining 189 pages contained partial redactions, citing FOIA Exemption 5, which pertains to sensitive government records.
