An Obama-appointed federal judge ordered two Missouri teachers to pay over $300,000 in legal fees to their school district which forced them to undergo diversity training.
Brooke Henderson, a teacher of 20 years who brought the lawsuit against the school, claimed the mandatory “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) training encouraged her to believe that America is systemically racist.
Henderson claimed the training told school district employees to place themselves in an “oppression matrix,” called for socio-economic changes and asked teachers to share private information.
The teachers were only seeking $1 in damages and were focused on convincing the judge to rule that the diversity training was unconstitutional.
