Laurel School District et al. v. Pennsylvania School District, et al.

Three western Pennsylvania school districts, along with educators, parents, and students sued the Pennsylvania Department of Education for unconstitutionally forcing educators to espouse and endorse vague socio-political beliefs unrelated to the state approved academic standards, doing so in violation of Pennsylvania’s Regulatory Review Act. In response to the Culturally-Relevant and Sustaining Education (CR-SE) Program Framework Guidelines issued in November 2022 by the state’s education department, Thomas More Society attorneys filed suit on behalf of school boards, teachers, and families on April 17, 2023.

On November 13, 2024, in response to Thomas More Society's legal challenge, the Pennsylvania Department of Education rescinded the Culturally-Relevant and Sustaining Education (CR-SE) Program Framework Guidelines. School entities are no longer obligated to comply with the program.
