Alleged incident in Newburyport School District · Massachusetts

Newburyport Public Schools spent nearly $150,000 on outside consultants for "cultural competency" and "diversity, equity, and inclusion" initiatives. Parents expressed concerns that these programs promote critical race and gender theory. The district also revised its public comment policy, which parents viewed as an attempt to limit discussion on these issues.
