Missouri AG sues Springfield for allegedly hiding critical race theory training for teachers
Fox News
Missouri's Republican Attorney General Eric Schmitt sued Springfield Public Schools, claiming the school district violated a transparency law by restricting access to teacher and staff training that promoted critical race theory or CRT.
The lawsuit alleges that Springfield Public Schools publicly acknowledged that it had been instructing teachers and staff on critical race theory – a framework that involves deconstructing aspects of society to discover systemic racism beneath the surface. In a December 2020 report, the school district reported that it had required district leaders and staff to participate in a one-day training from the Facing Racism Institute, and the district claimed the goal of the training was to "introduce the components of critical race theory from educational research with applications to the district."
