COLUMBIA, S.C. — A group of ultra conservative South Carolina lawmakers is suing a local school district and its superintendent alleging the district violated a one-year state law that seeks to prohibit schools from teaching concepts associated with "critical race theory."
The South Carolina Freedom Caucus filed suit Wednesday against Lexington 1 School District and Superintendent Gerrita Postlewait claiming the district uses curricula that promotes the indoctrination of students with “critical race theory-derived ideas” and mandates that teachers and staff be trained in “racist” concepts.
Lexington 1 did not respond to a request for comment on the suit by press deadline.
