Missouri AG Andrew Bailey told Fox News Digital exclusively that he is investigating the Hazelwood School District after student Kaylee, 16, was brutally beaten in a viral video.
EXCLUSIVE: Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has opened an investigation into the school district he said bears some responsibility for the brutal attack on a St. Louis teen who was seen in a viral video having her head bashed into the pavement by another student. On Thursday, Bailey told Fox News Digital exclusively that he would be opening an investigation into the Hazelwood School District and how their DEI programs contributed to the safety failures following the violent attack.
Bailey said back in 2020, the HSD Board of Education adopted a 'Statement of Solidarity' which influenced the district to, among other things, categorize and treat students differently based on race; 'recruit, hire, and promote' staff based on race, and 'reevaluate' the district's relationship with local police.
The absence of SROs on the scene is directly attributable to Hazelwood's insistence on prioritizing race-based policies over basic student safety. By its actions, HSD has endangered not only , but the general school community writ large,' said Bailey.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Hazelwood East High School and the Hazelwood School District for comment on the attorney general's investigation, but has not yet heard back. Bailey also added that the suspect in the violent brawl should be tried as an adult and charged with murder if the offense rose to a homicide.
