Teachers Union Sues Mom for Demanding to See Her Child’s Curriculum

The National Education Association teachers union is suing a Rhode Island mom after she made Freedom of Information requests of her child’s school.

The NEA is also suing the local school board for fulfilling many of the requests.

Nicole Solas was told by the principal of her child’s public elementary school that the school does not use the terms “boys and girls” and instead uses gender neutral pronouns.

When Solas requested specifics about the school’s policies, the principle told her she should file a Freedom of Information request.

That’s exactly what Solas did, filing about 200 requests for information relating to the school’s gender policies, Critical Race Theory in the curriculum, and disciplinary action against teachers.

For example, she requested emails between teachers and administration that contained the words “whiteness” and “race”, as well as, “All lesson plans in which the concept of ‘whiteness’ as a social construct is discussed, at all grade levels.”

But the teachers union thinks Solas has no right to see what the public school is teaching her kid. And it thinks the school board violated the privacy of union members when it turned over certain documents containing private communications.
