A civil rights lawsuit has been filed against the Temecula Valley Unified School District over its ban on critical race theory.
A lawsuit has been filed against the Temecula Valley Unified School District over its ban on critical race theory.
The lawsuit claims the ban, which was approved by the school board's conservative majority, censors teachers and infringes on students' fundamental right to an education. Public Counsel, the nonprofit group that filed the lawsuit on behalf of Temecula students, parents and teachers, claims the policy has been used by school board members to stop teaching "any concepts that conflict with their ideological viewpoints, including the history of the LGBTQ rights movement and the existence of racism in today's society."
"The resolution's lack of clarity has chilled many teachers into silence and led to large-scale protests by students who say that their constitutional rights to learn and to be free from discrimination are threatened by the ban," a press release announcing the lawsuit said. While the Temecula Valley school board has been in the news recently for battling over whether to approve curriculum that mentions gay rights advocate Harvey Milk, this lawsuit is in response to a resolution passed by the board in December 2022 that bans critical race theory.
