The issue? No age was given for this student, thus we don't know if they were five, six, seven, eight OR nine.
Again, gonna look into it but it's DailyMail so suspect AF.

Interesting different take on this.
So it was more a fishing expedition, not just wanting information for her five year old.
And when your demand for things cost up to 10k? That's not "just information", that's overkill.
And everything else to do with this comes from right wing "OMGTHEY'REBEINGSOMEAN" articles.
Yeah, wanting info is one thing, and she had every right to know.
But not like this.
Buying into her clout fest helps no one and harms many.

So. . . the union sued to block the release of records.
The rest of it's pseudo-clever manipulation of the legal formalities to whip up the rubes.

From how it reads, yeah, but... no. They're suing because she filed over 200 requests to see records and did not take the "we'll do so but we'll need time" well. So because they didn't bow down to her insta-demands, they sued. Her and some other person I guess kept filing but she's the only one that was sued.
It's a straightforward public-records request. The government agency has the responsibility to scrub personally identifying information from any such records before release, and is required to charge the requestor for the costs of assembling and redacting the records.
Perfectly normal. Been done a million times since the passage of the Freedom of Information Act in 1967, and parallel state statutes.
The very fact that all sides get equally pissed off says it's fair. What Eisenhower called "the equality of dissatisfaction."
It is a crazy story, & there’s much that must be missing, and it escalates quickly from bureaucracy over a mother asking what her child will be learning (curriculum) in Kindergarten….to Gender whatever & CRT.
My initial take is, Mothers Child enters School going into Kindergarten & the news story repeatedly mentions 5-year-old with respect to her child. Mother asks what the curriculum will be, and it’s told she has to file some kind a request to get that answer. She still doesn’t get the answer. She was told to do it again so she does it again. She gets frustrated and does it repeatedly.
Unless this Child is Sheldon Cooper, if this is starting when the child is entering kindergarten…& the story repeatedly mentions five-year-old…& this drags out for two years….The child is not going to be in Grades beyond Grade 2 or 3…. so from what I recall, they should be learning about spelling and dinosaurs and basic math skills about that time, right?
(Probably would’ve been so much easier to say, first, in kindergarten, we’re gonna do some colouring, and then, after recess, we’re going to do some work with macaroni and glue, etc…& hopefully by the end of the school year your child will understand shapes and colours and rudimentary alphabet concepts, numbers, etc…)
Between the video, and the written story it escalates so damn quickly….. from the above to 200 written requests?? We’re missing a big chunk of the story….the mother goes from 0 to 100 & the School goes to Emails & Slideshows with the mothers picture on zoom calls with 250 other teachers, to multiple lawsuits that are erroneous enough that other teachers leak this to the mother….so there’s some weirdness happening on both sides of this equation/situation
Anyway, sounds like this drags out for two years…. So the child would be 5 + 2 = 7 or 8 eventually… depending on when the birthday is in relation to the date on the lawsuit… so eventually, that would make this child into a Grade 2 or 3 situation (?) but was starting Kindergarten when it begins??? Most kids start Kindergarten at 5 or maybe 6 years old right?
Here’s the Short Video that goes with the story:

So. . . missed the "conservative activist" part?
It ain't hard. You wanna pull a few government documents? They'll handle it routinely for a nominal fee. You want a 20,000-page data dump? That's gonna take time and money.
Would you prefer it if any chip-on-his-shoulder "activist" could get the names, phone numbers, and home addresses of every teacher in the school system?

I said it’s a weird story from the very first sentence on this….& much must be missing because it goes from 0 - 100 very quickly… which doesn’t make it any less weird.
I’m assuming from the below, that this was a 5-yr-old girl being discussed in this story:
“'I’m a parent who enrolled my daughter in public school for kindergarten,' she said, adding that she is 'relieved' that the bill is being pushed through the Senate.” & goes from kid entering kindergarten to the senate in 2-3 years time….so maybe this mother’s situation fit some senators already active agenda (???) on situational circumstances like this one?

Stumbled across the story last night on YouTube….Thought it was pretty weird, & found the details where I found them. The mother is listed below, meaningful or not.
Here’s a different picture from the same story about the curriculum for that five year old entering kindergarten.
It’s weird all over…& I’m a grandfather, but my Spidey-Senses would have been tingling had I actually met this woman a couple of decades ago. Something about not sticking your dick into crazy, etc….
The whole situation is blown up on both sides of this beyond beyond.

Fox? Why is Serryah posting shit from Fox?
Local teachers' unions have filed a lawsuit that they say is intended to protect educators from targeted harassment amid an ongoing controversy over access to public records and so-called "critical race theory" in South Kingstown.
The legal complaint, filed last week by the National Education Association's chapters for Rhode Island and South Kingstown, is the most recent development in a saga that began this spring when Nicole Solas, a parent and conservative activist, filed more than 200 records requests for curriculum material, internal emails, and other documents.

I posted it, last night, from the DailyMail out of the UK…not Serryah, & DailyMail might be Fox adjacent (?) for that side of the Atlantic Ocean?? I just thought it was weird.
She posted the Providence RI newspaper article.

She likely did 200 because she wasn't receiving any responses so what else was she supposed to do? I'd keep asking as well until I got an answer! She was entitled to receive one.
It's weird sure. It's weird the mother thought CRT and issues about Gender Reassignment was taught to five year olds. It's weird she thought that only five year olds were educated in an elementary school. It's weird she made over 200 requests totalling near 10K to find out information that had no relation to her kid but demanded it anyway. It was weird that when she was told she could get the info, but it'd take time, she didn't like that so kept shoving requests to the school.
It's weird that she used right wing buzz words like CRT and "forced transition" to try and prove an invalid point. It's weird that as a member of a right wing wackadoo group, she did all this and is bitching like a "Karen" because everything she demanded wasn't done like, yesterday. It's weird that she has representation from another right wing wackadoo group for her suit and think it makes her position valid. It's weird she cries about the privacy of children in one minute, but the next is demanding the privacy of children be exposed to HER all because she demanded it.
It's weird the teacher's union is suing the moron.
And yes, there probably is a lot missing from this, but the truth ISN'T going to come from this agenda-driven wackadoo.
Not arguing over the request itself.
It's the harassment/over demand that's the issue. At what point is enough enough? At request 5? 50? 100?
Now, could the school have been stalling and hope she go away? Sure, totally plausible. After request 10? They're not stupid so at that much "Karening" they had to realize she wasn't going to go away.
What I haven't found is of the 200 requests, how long was it between them? Months? Not years certainly. Weekly? If it was 200 over the span of weeks, then yeah, that's harassment and suggests she's stirring shit up.
Then throw in it WASN'T just for curriculum, but internal emails and "other documents"; that's demanding BEYOND the right of a parent to know 'what they're teaching (or in this case not teaching) my kid'.
Interesting that the district later decided to not sue, but mediation was an answer.
S. Kingstown School Committee will not pursue lawsuit over 'race theory' records requests
South Kingstown School Committee votes not to use lawsuit to resolve dispute over voluminous records requests seeking information about race, gender teachings.
www.providencejournal.com
"Schools Supt. Linda Savastano said the district was "overwhelmed" by the volume of information that Solas, who lives in Wakefield, was seeking.
"It was not the best beginning of a relationship," she said. "I own that. It overwhelmed us. That doesn't mean we can't do better in the future."
The committee then discussed whether engaging in mediation with Solas might be a preferable solution. In the end, the committee voted to try mediation first."
Okay, so she overwhelmed them with requests.
"Although the district complied with her requests, it wanted to charge her $9,570 for gathering the information. She said the department then dropped the fee to $79.50 after she narrowed her request. "
So, they COMPLIED with her requests - which runs counter to the stories Ron had linked to. And dropped the cost of fees when she narrowed her request.
So in the end, it's not a suit about information per say, rather the harassment of teachers that could come from her demands.
And I can see that.

Now this is insanity, especially when the owner doubled down on her ignorance to claim that the T+ after LGB means "Trans" and "MAP" (Minor Attracted People). Obviously she didn't even bother to learn, and after posting that opinion publicly, she got the backlash she deserved.
