A woman’s decision to file more than 200 public records requests with the South Kingstown School Committee has sparked a conversation regarding race-based education.
Nicole Solas, whose child will be a kindergartener in the district this fall, began filing the requests as the committee was considering whether to add equity and anti-racism education to the curriculum.
Emily Cummiskey, the committee’s chairwoman, claims Solas is part of a “nationally organized, racist group” and filed the requests in an attempt to intimidate the district.
