She attacked one of the primary tools journalists use to get information out of elected leaders and bureaucrats on Thursday: freedom of information laws (FOIL). She called the use of FOILs by local groups against school districts \u201conerous\u201d and said the laws are being used to spread false information about CRT.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard for me as a reporter because I don\u2019t want to put FOILs in a bad light right? Freedom of Information Laws are wonderful things. But it is in fact a tactic of national and just hyper and fast-growing local organizations to use onerous public records requests,\u201d Zadrozny <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Heritage\/status\/1405617437752664080\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to explain how she believed grassroots groups, often <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/17\/nbc-critical-race-theory-loudoun-county\/\">lead<\/a> by parents and invested community members, are using FOILs to target school boards and districts\u2019 curriculum unfairly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we saw in Maine is [activists] asking for all these records requests of, you know, \u2018how much money did you spend on anything involving race,\u2019 and that is used to frame again the school board as being, as paying for CRT, which is just not the case,\u201d Zadrozny said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Nevada, we saw, again, this local group called Nevada Family Alliance \u2013 who is really known for trying to get Drag Queen Story Hour at the local libraries \u2013 now one activist there told me this was the opportunity she had been waiting for,\u201d she continued. \u201cSo she filed these onerous FOIL requests, gets them, and then translates them in a way that is just not correct or accurate, in a way that suggests again that the school board is coming for your children and teachers as specifically teaching kindergarteners \u2013 white kindergarteners \u2013 that they\u2019re somehow oppressors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zadrozny has previously <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrandyZadrozny\/status\/1404795213718208517\">accused<\/a> conservatives of using CRT as a \u201cboogeyman\u201d used to demonstrate against any curriculum or subject they don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just not really true, so onerous FOIL requests, \u2026 showing up en masse and yelling at school board members, all of this is sort of a tactic and it\u2019s being leapt upon by national organizations from the Heritage Foundation to ALEC to other groups that have popped up after the Trump presidency to sort of push this \u201cAmerica First\u201d agenda,\u201d Zadrozny said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s also being roundly embraced by news organizations \u2026 like Fox News, Breitbart, other right-wing news organizations who are just covering this stuff en masse when it\u2019s really a local issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Chris Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and an anti-CRT reporter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/anti-crt-activist-blasts-nbc-news-for-intentionally-misreading-critical-race-theory-activism-pure-propoganda\">slammed<\/a> Zadrozny and several of her colleagues for misreporting comments he made regarding his efforts against CRT in schools.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNBCNews is pure propaganda,\u201d Rufo said in a statement he posted on Twitter. \u201cThis report conveniently omits all the facts that have mobilized parents to action. I recently completed a twelve-part investigative series on critical race theory in public schools, exposing teachers promoting the ideas that \u2018all white people\u2019 are racist, that white-led schools systematically \u2018spirit murder\u2019 black children, that white parents should become \u2018white traitors,\u2019 and that white teachers are inherently guilty of \u2018covert white supremacy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
