Legal group America First Legal on Thursday announced it is suing a Colorado school district for retaliating against an employee who expressed views about the U.S. during a diversity training.
The Cherry Creek School District allegedly violated the employee’s First Amendment rights when it “pressured him to embrace race-based ideologies” through a required diversity training. The employee during that training allegedly responded to a question about being White by saying he “identifies as an American who believes the U.S. is the greatest country in the world.”
Cherry Creek’s equity director allegedly reported these comments to the school principal as having “racist undertones.” The district later eliminated the employee’s position, citing “budgetary reasons,” America First Legal claims.
