BUSTED: Coppell, Texas school admin admits to defying Abbott’s CRT ban
February 26, 2025
Accuracy in Media released a video of a Texas school administrator — this one from Coppell ISD — defying the state law against teaching Critical Race Theory. The administrator, Evan Whitfield, serves as the district’s director of curriculum and instruction.
AIM Senior Fellow and school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis published the video on X:
BUSTED: A Texas administrator admits to an undercover journalist that his school district circumvents the law banning CRT.
“We’ve gotten around it by saying ‘Well we’re just not teaching that.'”
“We kind of tap dance around calling it anything.”
I have the video.

The undercover journalist poses as a liberal who wants CRT in schools but is concerned about the Texas ban.
The masked administrator says that, “Despite what our state standards say, despite what’s going on, we do what’s right for kids.” pic.twitter.com/P0kqg1pNv2
