The attorney general office’s lawsuit is based on an undercover video published in February by a conservative activist group.

The lawsuit stems from statements made by Evan Whitfield, the director of curriculum and instruction for Coppell ISD, who allegedly said in a video that the district “does what’s right” and has bypassed state bans by insisting they aren’t teaching critical race theory, according to a press release from Paxton’s office.

The AG's Office claims Coppell ISD's curriculum director discussed how despite what the state says, the district does "what's right."
