Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is suing Springfield Public Schools (SPS) for allegedly violating the state’s information transparency law, citing the school district’s unwillingness to provide documents that his office requested on behalf of parents concerned about the teaching of critical race theory.
In a complaint (pdf) filed on Nov. 16, Schmitt alleged that critical race theory has been part of teacher training materials in SPS for at least two years and that the district has violated Missouri’s Sunshine Law to avoid being held accountable by concerned parents.
