No, DEI didn’t ‘contribute’ to a violent assault that critically injured a Hazelwood East student [Video]

Missouri’s Attorney General launched an “investigation” into Hazelwood School District to see if DEI “contributed” to a violent attack. Police say it didn’t.

ST. LOUIS, Missouri — On Friday, March 8, 16-year-old Kaylee Gain, a student at Hazelwood East High School was severely injured in an altercation that occurred off campus after school was over.

Video showing Gain’s injuries went viral on social media and attracted the attention of several national political influencers. Some of them suggested the incident, which involved another Black teenage girl who attended the same school, could have had racial undertones.

On Friday, March 22, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey claimed in a press release that he was launching an investigation into the Hazelwood School District to learn “how the school district’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs contributed to the incident.”
