School District Sued for Restricting CRT and Upholding Parental Rights

 

Political activists file lawsuit against California school board to silence and quash any resistance to thwart their immoral and socialist agenda.

 
Case Summary

In August 2023, the Temecula Valley Unified School District Board (“TVUSD”) voted to retain Advocates for Faith & Freedom to defend against a previously filed lawsuit regarding critical race theory.

The lawsuit was filed by a group of political activists and the Temecula Valley Educators Association and challenges a District resolution banning critical race theory and a parental notification policy that requires District staff to inform parents of their students’ gender transition.  The lawsuit claims the resolution harms children of color and LGBTQ students and deprives them of a quality education.

Murrieta, CA – Today, a California Court ruled in favor of the Temecula Valley Unified School District, affirming the district’s parental notification policy and a resolution prohibiting the teaching of critical race theory (CRT). Last year, a lawsuit was filed against the school district by a group of political activists and the Temecula Valley Educators Association, challenging a resolution that restricts false and divisive CRT curriculum and requires teachers to inform parents of their students’ gender transition.

“This is a win for commonsense, parents, and the safety of students,” says Robert Tyler, President of Advocates for Faith & Freedom. “TVUSD is committed to providing a quality education free from political agendas and free from dishonest and divisive curriculum. This ruling allows TVUSD to continue implementing these sound policies.”

“This was a hard-fought battle that paid off for parents,” said Mariah Gondeiro, Vice President of Advocates for Faith & Freedom. “This ruling vindicates the actions taken by the TVUSD School Board who put the rights of parents and the safety of students over the wishes of special interest groups.”

“Despite the small but vocal opponents that seek to rewrite history and indoctrinate students, I am very optimistic for our school district,” says Dr. Joseph Komrosky, President of the school board. “I believe that the diversity that exists among the District’s community of students, staff, parents, and guardians is an asset to be honored and valued. These policies were enacted by the school board to ensure our district puts the needs of students and their parents above all else. Our district remains focused on providing a holistic education for all of our students, free from both discrimination and indoctrination.”

Murrieta, CA – On August 09, 2023, the Temecula Valley Unified School District Board (“TVUSD”) voted to retain Advocates for Faith & Freedom to defend against a previously filed lawsuit regarding critical race theory.

The lawsuit was filed by a group of political activists and the Temecula Valley Educators Association and challenges a resolution implemented by the Board banning critical race theory.  The lawsuit claims the resolution harms children of color and LGBTQ students and deprives them of a quality education.

“The Board’s opposition to CRT is based precisely on the discriminatory philosophy it encourages and is thus not tantamount to discrimination or the failure to provide a quality education, but in fact just the opposite,” says Robert Tyler, President for Advocates for Faith & Freedom. “TVUSD is committed to providing students with a holistic education, instead of pushing political agendas and divisive curriculum. Our contention is that the TVUSD is doing exactly what they were elected by parents to do, which is guide curriculum in accordance with what is best for all students, free from the political influences and whims of lobbyists and special interest groups.”

“As the President of the Board, my goal is to ensure that all school children receive a fair and equal education, and that is what this resolution promotes.” says Dr. Joseph Komrosky. “TVUSD believes that the diversity that exists among the District’s community of students, staff, parents, and guardians is an asset to be honored and valued. The majority of the Board chose to hire Bob Tyler and his team because they are highly qualified with substantial experience litigating constitutional questions like the ones raised here.”
