Fox News – A school district in Colorado was sued after it revoked the position of a dean of students allegedly for pushing back against critical race theory in its professional development programming, despite originally promising there would be no consequences for open dialogue.
America First Legal (AFL) filed the lawsuit against the Cherry Creek School District on Wednesday, accusing the district of violating the First Amendment by having "terminated his employment under false pretenses" after plaintiff Patrick Hogarty expressed his views against CRT during a mandatory diversity training session.
"Disguised as a ‘budget cut,’ Mr. Hogarty’s position as dean was eliminated because the district found Mr. Hogarty’s pride in the United States of America incompatible with the district’s political ideology that America is a systemically racist nation," the lawsuit, obtained by Fox News Digital, alleged.
