The Temecula Valley school board has voted to hire a nonprofit law firm to represent the district in a lawsuit challenging its ban on critical race theory.
The Murrieta-based law firm Advocates for Faith and Freedom will represent the district free of charge, however, the district will still be responsible for court filing fees, disposition fees and other costs.
The lawsuit filed against the district challenges a resolution that the school board approved on December 13, 2022. While the resolution banned critical race theory, the lawsuit claims the resolution deprived students of the "opportunity to engage in factual investigation, freely discuss ideas, and develop critical thinking and reasoning skills."
