Government intentions to teach identity can easily derail into the improper or abusive.
We needed to submit a Public Data request (GDPA) to attempt to view course materials.
The district still won't produce the materials, almost two years later.
Here is the video of Dr. Cherry, Vice-Superintendent, explaining that there had not been a bunch of lawyering going on, which had been the excuse for the first year of nothing-happening, and that, yes indeed, essentially nothing was made available to us.
They once promised us an opportunity to view the materials, but we showed up and received almost nothing.
We followed up, after the holidays, but in over two months there has been no further response about producing the material for inspection.
So, by what notions of ethnic identities is Stillwaters Schools instructing population identity?
We still do not have the answer.
The District should have apologized and said, "oops,"--after we were left having to contact the administrative bosses at OAH to come down upon the district, after their leaving two years in the dust, all of our follow-ups effectively ignored.
Instead, Trevor Helmers at Squires, Waldspurger, and Mace ran up presumably tens of thousands of dollars of legal expenses that in the end tried to rest on the defense that Catherine's original request was a typo.
This magic bullet typo theory preposes that Catherine had clarified and repeated, in succession and in discussions with the District, consistently, a typo, not an actual request that she "meant" to make, as Helmers proposed it.
Ten times reiterated and this actor tries on "the typo defense."
Over two months into the OAH Hearing, Mr. Helmers, with inherent disrespect for the administrative process, gins up the notion, and on August 31st says, in sum and substance, "Your Honor, we did not violate the law because the request was a typo."
