Haven’t heard from the Goldwater Institute in a long while.
Friend,
In 2023, a Pennsylvania mother of three, Ann Trethewey, investigated whether her school district was indoctrinating students in the racially divisive tenants of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”
However, she hit a brick wall.
The district denied her request, claiming that the records were exempt because they revealed a “trade secret.”
Since when are taxpayer-funded materials shielded from public disclosure and transparency because officials simply label them as “trade secrets”?
Short answer: They aren’t!
In a landmark decision, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania delivered a resounding victory for transparency, ruling that the DEI training materials were not trade secrets and taxpayers have every right to examine them.
The Goldwater Institute’s American Freedom Network of pro bono attorneys proudly defended Ann’s parental rights in her fight for transparency and accountability in public schools.
Parents have a right to know if DEI indoctrination is happening in their children’s classrooms.
This decision is a crucial victory in the fight for parental rights and government transparency.
But the fight to protect parental rights isn’t over…
DEI lurks in schools across the country.
School districts continue to use secrecy, including unfounded claims of trade secrets and proprietary information, as a shield to push ideological agendas.
These bureaucrats claim to know better than parents about what’s best for their kids and are keeping families in the dark about what is happening in classrooms.
We must remain vigilant and persistent in defending transparency because parents have a right to know what their children are being taught in taxpayer-funded schools.
Our team is working in all 50 states to hold officials accountable to parents.
