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

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

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.
