Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against Coppell Independent School District, accusing it of illegally teaching critical race theory (CRT) despite state bans.
The lawsuit is based on an edited undercover video in which a district official allegedly admitted to bypassing restrictions on CRT-related teachings. Paxton argues that the district is violating Texas law, while critics claim the lawsuit is politically motivated. The case highlights ongoing tensions over how race and history are taught in schools, with conservative leaders pushing to restrict discussions on systemic racism.
The lawsuit is part of a broader effort by Texas officials to enforce bans on CRT in public education.
