NBC reporter complains about parents demanding transparency in fight against CRT

NBC reporter Brandy Zadrozny went on MSNBC Thursday to complain about how parents who oppose critical race theory are using FOIA requests to find out what their children are being taught in school.

"Freedom of information laws are wonderful things but it is in fact a tactic of national and fast growing local organizations to use onerous public records requests. So what we’ll see, what we saw in Maine is asking for all these records requests of, you know, how much money did you spend on anything involving race?" she said. "And then that is used to sort of frame the school board as paying for CRT. Which again is just not the case." The Freedom of Information Act allows the public the right to request access to records from any federal agency. Federal agencies are obligated to disclose any information requested under the FOIA unless it falls under one of nine exemptions.
