Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) is at the cutting edge of legal challenges to divisive and discriminatory race-based programming in our K-12 public schools. SLF General Counsel Kimberly Hermann and SLF Litigation Director Braden Boucek recently wrote a piece for The American Mind where the break down the legal battle to save our schools.
In the piece, Hermann and Boucek explain:
The American culture war is real. This is not news, as battles rage in nearly every corner of our nation. But how do we engage the enemy in a non-fruitless manner and win?
The most important battleground in the fight to save our American republic is the public schools. K-12 schools across our nation have replaced color-blind education with race-based programming in the name of “equity.” What seems like a relatively benign cause is actually code for a much bigger and more dangerous agenda: to condition children to see each other’s skin color first and foremost, categorize everyone according to a hierarchy of racial privilege, then pit different racial groups against each other.

At the Southeastern Legal Foundation, we’ve been at the cutting edge of legal challenges to CRT indoctrination. We know what works and what won’t. Here are some suggested avenues.
