The Forest Hills School Board held a meeting to confirm its new superintendent Wednesday and parents took the chance to let their voices be heard. Just before the meeting, parents of seven district children filed a lawsuit stating that the district’s recently passed “Resolution of Kindness” amounts to censorship in academics. "We're showing how important it is that students of color are heard their history is heard, and that we advocate for our children in what's best," said parent Nicole Kusi. Board members passed the resolution as a response to teaching “anti-racism” in schools. The resolution passed 3-2, causing some parents to storm out the meeting. Freshman student Audrey Mendralski agreed that the new rule puts teachers at a disadvantage. “Teachers should not be afraid to speak their minds and not whitewash history," Mendralski said. RELATED: The resolution effectively bans the teaching of critical race theory and identity in the curriculum. The lawsuit names all school board members, the school district, board of education and the new pick for superintendent, Larry Hook. Hook was confirmed as the school board’s new superintendent at Wednesday’s meeting. Hook will officially begin his role on August 1. The lawsuit claims that the resolution does not promote kindness but hatred and discrimination, especially in students of color and the LGBTQIA community. “There are some ignorant individuals that will bully kids because of their race or their sexuality or their gender identity," freshman student, Zoe Bell said. Parents claim the new rule also violates the First Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The lawsuit also details why each of the represented students feel or have felt unsafe in their school environment. “I just can’t believe we are at this point, and this is an excellent district. It’s just it breaks our heart that this is the message that’s being sent to our students," Kusi said. The Forest Hills School District has not responded to the lawsuit at this time.
