(MARTIN BUREAU\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:33 AM PT \u2013 Sunday, August 15, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>The National Education Association announced it is suing the mother of a kindergarten student after she requested information about the schools\u2019 teaching of critical race theory. The country\u2019s largest teachers\u2019 union filed the suit along with a temporary restraining order with the Rhode Island Superior Court earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Nicole Solas said this isn\u2019t the first time she has been targeted by the group. She stressed this is a matter of public concern that is subject to public disclosure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery parent has the right to request this information and every parent should. You can request the communications of NEA members with public school officials and public school employees, and you can read their emails to see exactly how they are implementing critical race theory,\u201d said Solas.<\/p>\n<p>Solas has not received the information she requested and further, the school district slapped her with a $74,000 so-called \u201crecord retrieval bill\u201d for the information she was seeking.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I just got served with a lawsuit from the teacher union NEARI. Throwing down the gauntlet, are we?

He also pointed out they were never meant to be turned around on parents just trying to find out what their kids are learning in school.<\/p>\n<p>Solas said she believes the NEA of Rhode Island is simply hiding how gender and critical race theory is being imposed on kindergarteners, and is shielding teachers from the inevitable public outrage if parents were privy to their curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Point 70 of the union\u2019s legal complaint reads, \u201cit is likely that any teachers who are identifiable and have engaged in discussions about things like critical race theory will then be the subject of teacher harassment by national conservative groups opposed to critical race theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/texas-judges-temporarily-block-gov-abbotts-executive-orders\/\">Texas Judges Temporarily Block Gov.
