Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has issued cease and desist letters to three St. Louis County school districts.
Bailey said he has received reports that the Lindbergh, Parkway and Webster Groves school districts have been discriminating against students and staff based on their religion or race.
Bailey accused the Webster Groves School District of having race-based criteria for employees and applicants, saying, “If these reports are true, Webster Groves is discriminating on the basis of race in direct violation of both state and federal law. Racial discrimination is illegal in the United States.”
