"Missouri AG Investigates Hazelwood School District and Teen's Recovery After Brutal Attack"

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has launched an investigation into the Hazelwood School District's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs following a fight near Hazelwood East High School that left a student critically injured. The attorney general's letter, riddled with errors, questioned the role of DEI programs in the incident, although race has not been confirmed as a factor in the fight. The district has emphasized its commitment to DEI and student safety, while conservative politicians have criticized DEI as a mechanism for discrimination. The attorney general's letter contained factual inaccuracies about the incident, and the district's DEI plan has faced online scrutiny.
