Tony Kinnett, an Indianapolis-based educator who went viral on social media for exposing how critical race theory (CRT) is being implemented in his school district, said that he has been fired.

In a Twitter thread, the award-winning science coach reported that he no longer works with Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS), Indiana’s largest school district serving about 23,000 students. According to Kinnett, IPS fired him for a host of reasons, mostly relating to information he leaked to journalists about the district’s social and racial justice initiatives.
