Examples: The complaint wants the district to establish an equity team, provide a culturally responsive curriculum, and make books with themes on gender and sexuality available to students. The filing also asks the district to explicitly prohibit the use of racial slurs which the complaint describes as pervasive in the district, which is more than 80% white. 

Keep in mind: The Pennridge school board — which has been led by Republicans and disbanded its equity initiative in 2021 as conservatives accused the district of teaching “critical race theory” — will change hands in December after a Democratic sweep of the district’s school board races earlier this month.
