In a shocking turn of events, the US Department of Education has opened a federal investigation into Cherry Creek Schools over alleged racial discrimination. The agency accuses the district of violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964, citing clubs that exclude students based on race and requiring teachers to use a student's race when determining class assignments and academic support. This episode delves into the details of the investigation and the concerns of a parent committee that allegedly grants access and participation based on race while denying other parents the opportunity to participate.

The investigation has been a long time coming, with the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, led by executive director Lori Gimelshteyn, raising the alarm on the district's practices. Gimelshteyn shares her personal experience as a parent in the district, where her children were taught that America was founded on white supremacy. She discusses the district's professional development program, which requires teachers to see themselves as representatives of either oppressors or oppressed based on their skin color.

The conversation also touches on the district's rebranding of its Office of Inclusive Excellence, which has been accused of promoting a Marxist ideology that undermines the principles of American freedom. Gimelshteyn emphasizes the importance of celebrating America's founding principles and the need to stop the district's divisive practices. She also highlights the importance of parental rights and the need for parents to be involved in their children's education.
