Print this article A group of Virginia parents filed a federal lawsuit against the Loudoun County School Board, citing allegations that it violated students' free speech rights. The suit, represented by the Chicago-based Liberty Justice Center, targets the school board's "bias reporting" system that encourages students to report on people's perceived biases anonymously. Defendants also argued against having only students of color and those who "expressly attest" to being allies of historically oppressed groups be eligible to participate in the schools' Equity Ambassadors Program. "Our kids have the right to develop their own opinions, free from indoctrination and school-sanctioned bullying. Instead of opening young minds, Loudoun County school leaders are policing them. This is not education; it is coercion," Scott Mineo, parent of a Loudoun County high school student and founder of Parents Against Critical Theory, said.
