Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Coppell ISD accusing administrators of encouraging staff to continue teaching critical race theory (CRT), the Texas Attorney General's office announced Wednesday.

According to the Attorney General's Office, a recently published video showed Evan Whitfield, director of curriculum and instruction for Coppell ISD, discussing how the district has maneuvered the change in instruction.

Paxton said Whitfield stated while the district does not teach CRT, despite state standards, they teach "what's right."

When questioned if teachers could "close the door and teach what's right," Paxton said Whitfield responded with "Shh, that's what we do."

Good for Paxton.

I live in Coppell. My kids went to Coppell schools. They were teaching this crap when my kids were there. My youngest graduated in 2020. He hated Coppell for many reasons. But one was what they taught.

It’s called a School Board.

Find some like minded people and take it over next election.

This isn't going away until we do more work to mainstream The Abolitionist Founding Fathers.

Here is an example to that end
