St. Louis Public Radio Amy Ryan, a Rockwood parent, reacts Friday during a parent-organized forum on the district s diversity curriculum.
What started as a tense debate over whether Rockwood’s schools should reopen in person last fall has descended into schoolyard bullying among the adults.
Politics didn’t used to enter the schools. The elementary recitals and high school football games were where parents could put conservative versus liberal views aside, don the school colors and root for their kids.
But without that common social fabric in a year of social distancing, the Rockwood School District community is ripping at the seams, frayed first by the pandemic’s closure of schools and then shredded by a fight over whether and how to teach diversity in classrooms.

Amy Ryan, a Rockwood parent, reacts Friday during a parent-organized forum on the district s diversity curriculum.
Politics didn’t used to enter the schools. The elementary recitals and high school football games were where parents could put conservative versus liberal views aside, don the school colors and root for their kids.
But without that common social fabric in a year of social distancing, the Rockwood School District community is ripping at the seams, frayed first by the pandemic’s closure of schools and then shredded by a fight over whether and how to teach diversity in classrooms. The district’s superintendent and diversity director are both walking away, but educators in the district continue to feel under siege from a group of parents leading a charge against a diversity curriculum they say is “indoctrinating” their children.
Amid complaints from parents that their children are being “indoctrinated,” a Missouri school district official is advising English teachers to create a fake curriculum and keep the real one hidden.
The real one is focused on “antiracist” activism and issues of “white privilege,” the Daily Wire reported.
The author of the memo is Natalie Fallert, the literacy speech coordinator for grades 6-12 in the Rockwood School District, serving several towns west of St. Louis that are overwhelmingly white.
She told middle and high-school English teachers in the district that parents had been complaining “we are pushing an agenda,” “we are pushing Critical Race Theory (I had to look this one up!),” “we are making white kids feel bad about their privilege,” we are “stereotyping,” “we are teaching kids to be social activists” and “we are teaching kids to be democratic thinkers and activists.”
Mother of 9th grader Janet Deidrick reacts to Rockwood School District in Missouri hiding critical race theory content after complaints from parents.
The mother of a Missouri ninth-grader said Friday she was upset to learn that Rockwood School District was accused of hiding certain race-based curriculum from parents. We were very surprised at this, Janet Deidrick told Fox & Friends.
According to a memo obtained by The Daily Wire, the Rockwood School District hid race-based content from their curriculum after backlash from parents who were concerned.
A 6-12 Literacy Speech Coordinator Natalie Fallert wrote to all middle and high school principals that parents complained that the school was pushing an agenda, suggesting that certain materials only be visible to students and not to parents on the Canvas remote learning platform.
