Teachers union sues Rhode Island mom to stop her finding out through public records requests if critical race theory is being taught in schools

In April, Nicole Solas sent a lengthy email to the principal of Wakefield Elementary, Rhode Island, where her child attends school, to demand records about the controversial teaching practice.

By June 2, Solas filed more than 200 broad-scope requests for records, many of which have not yet been fulfilled by the school district.

This week, the National Education Association Rhode Island filed a lawsuit claiming that Solas’ requests – all emails from certain teachers – would reveal teachers’ private details and were an ‘unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.’
