A school administrator in Indiana was locked out of his email and banned from school grounds Wednesday after leaking information that students were being instructed in critical race theory ideology.
“As of one hour ago, Indianapolis Public Schools has suspended my access to email & Google Drive,” Anthony Kinnett, an administrator with Indianapolis Public Schools, posted to Twitter Wednesday. “I am currently banned from going to any IPS school building or hosting any professional developments.”
The administrator said the punitive actions are in response to Kinnnett’s leaking of a video earlier this year that showed an “equity administrator” teaching middle school students that systematic racism affects all levels of society and the environment, according to a report.

“The environment, oh my, there’s so much racism dealing with just the environment,” Dr. Patricia Payne told students during a Jan. 15 “Racial Justice Speaker Series” lecture, according to the leaked material.
The material released by Kinnett was reportedly public, but that did not stop IPS from taking action against the administrator.
“In HR meetings, I was informed that it was ‘irrelevant’ that the information I released was public and stored on public servers. (I have yet to release anything private),” he tweeted. “I’ve been required to work from home the last two weeks, as staff reportedly have ‘clinical anxiety’ over working with me.”
Critical race theory and other closely related ideologies argue the United States is inherently racist and that skin color is used to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between white and nonwhite people. Critics claim it delegates all white people to the role of oppressors and all people of color to victims.
“We don’t have the quotes and theories as state standards, per se. We do have Critical Race Theory in how we teach,” Kinnett wrote.
Despite being banned from the Google Drive account, Kinnett said he intends to release further evidence.
“It’s a good thing I downloaded all of the other racist documents & videos from the public server weeks ago,” he said.
