Detroit, Michigan Public schools charging MILLIONS for Freedom of Information Act records to parents 🚨 Schools are also EXEMPTING gender studies curriculum from FOIA requests - School kept a dossier on parents who opposed COVID lockdowns - Mother filed a lawsuit to see what further retaliation was planned against parents as a FOIA request, school charging $33 MILLION for records - Multiple other parents sent bills in the MILLIONS for requests on records for in-classroom curriculum “These school districts are trying to discourage parents from finding out what is actually going on in their children's schools” “They started filing these FOIA requests. I think you saw a lot of schools, instead of opening up saying, no, we don't wanna tell them anything and that's where we're starting to see these crazy cases of multimillion dollar fees” “Another mom in the Rochester School District was trying to seek information about a gender studies class that was being taught at her daughter's school. And so she filed FOIA requests. The school said they didn't have anything that related to that curriculum. She said, that doesn't make any sense. I know it's being taught. She ends up suing the school. And actually that case goes all the way up to the Supreme Court in Michigan, who ultimately decided that public schools are not actually included in the definition of what a public body is, and therefore what they produce in the classroom is not actually subject to FOIA” https://x.com/i/status/1872613692379955671
