Kaylee Gain’s school pushed DEI over safety, has ‘enormous culpability’ in teen’s vicious beating: Mo. AG

The Missouri high school near where teen Kaylee Gain was horrifically injured last week had an “enormous amount of culpability” in the incident because it promoted Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives over student safety, the state’s Republican attorney general claimed.

“I think the school has an enormous amount of culpability. Look at their statement; there’s no moral clarity there. They don’t mention the victim once,” AG Andrew Bailey told Newsmax’s “National Report” of the Hazelwood School District.

Kaylee Gain, 16, was just a few blocks from Hazelwood East High School when she and another girl got into a physical fight on March 8.

The tussle ended with Gain being pinned down and having her head slammed into the pavement multiple times, resulting in brain bleeding and a serious skull fracture.

In the wake of the incident, the district posted a brief statement on Facebook.

“It is a tragedy anytime children are hurt. Bullying and fighting in the community is an issue for which we all need to take ownership and work towards a resolution for the sake of our children,” the note read.

The district also offered “sincerest condolences to everyone involved.”

Hazelwood East, Bailey argued, was partly to blame for Gain’s condition because it “radical DEI programs” in 2021 “in place of school safety.”

“In other words, [the school] are more in favor of racial divisiveness than in having school resource officers on their campuses,” Bailey insisted.

“So, what role did this radical divisive DEI indoctrination program play in preventing a police officer from being present and detecting this and/or from causing the racial divisiveness that may have motivated this fight?” he added.
