Fox News
Newly released documents show that an Illinois school district agreed to pay an anti-racism speaker $10,500 for an hour-long event for faculty and staff earlier this year.
On Monday, The Federalist published the results of an open records request, which revealed the $10,500 price tag. That was on the lower end of Simmons' advertised range of $10,000-$20,000, but translated into a rate of $175 per minute. Simmons is the founder of a group known as "LiberatED," which describes itself as "[a] social and emotional learning approach to racial justice and healing. A movement. A collective. A path towards liberation."More Related News
