Parents suing their Virginia school district for forcing their children to learn critical race theory took their case to the appeals court Tuesday, alleging a slew of First Amendment violations.
Five families of Albemarle County Public Schools began their lawsuit in late 2021 after their children were subjected to a critical race theory pilot program that the district intended to be"woven through in all of the classes in Albemarle County.
Parents and their children are alleging multiple violations of the First Amendment as well as violations of parental rights that they argue run counter to Virginia's Constitution. Teachers were trained to treat children differently based on their race, including in grading, setting up an equal protection clause challenge as well.
