An Obama-appointed federal judge ordered two Missouri teachers to pay over $300,000 in legal fees to their school district which forced them to undergo diversity training.

Brooke Henderson, a teacher of 20 years who brought the lawsuit against the school, claimed the mandatory "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) training encouraged her to believe that America is systemically racist.

"If we believed in a colorblind America, [it told us] that we are White supremacists, and it really just felt like there was no hope and that the wheels had come off the bus of what our job as educators was," she said.
