Colorado middle school dean of students allegedly fired for saying he identifies as a proud American: Lawsuit
Fox News
A new lawsuit alleges that a Colorado school district fired a dean of students for pushing back against critical race theory and expressing patriotism as an American.
"Disguised as a ‘budget cut,’ Mr. Hogarty’s position as dean was eliminated because the district found Mr. Hogarty’s pride in the United States of America incompatible with the district’s political ideology that America is a systemically racist nation," the lawsuit, obtained by Fox News Digital, alleged. Hannah Grossman is a Reporter at Fox News Digital.
Hogarty, who served as dean of students at Campus Middle School from 2021 to 2024, voiced his belief in American identity and the greatness of the United States during the session, which focused on race and equity through the "Courageous Conversations" program, according to the suit.
