“(Former Douglas County school superintendent Corey Wise) filed this lawsuit to ensure that it’s clear that if people are going to take political advantage of vulnerable students and school districts, there’s going to be a price to pay.”
“Unfortunately, when you stand up for what is right, that was held against me,” Wise said in an interview with The Denver Post on Thursday morning. “When you have sides and fractures and distrust…that’s where you see the impact on the school district, employees, community. It’s disappointing. It’s disheartening.”
The filing pointed out when members of the board majority campaigned against the equity policy and complained about Wise’s support of the policy. Peterson, for example, said during school board campaigning that the district was pushing critical race theory — which is not taught in Douglas County Schools –and the board’s “radical agenda…based on division, equal outcomes, and race-based policies that are discriminatory and will only set our kids up for failure.
The new equity resolution — which is now official policy — removed all mention of diversity, the filing said. Last fall, Wise along with the parents of nine children with disabilities sued the Douglas County Health Department after the agency decided students and staff did not have to wear face masks.
“The No. 1 thing you have to do is make sure you’re looking out for each other and you have to look at your medically fragile — that’s with adults and kids,” Wise said. “When we are not able to follow through with the DougCo Board of Health and not able to protect those that need to be protected, you have to stand up for that.”
