An Indiana school administrator who went viral for explaining how critical race theory is covertly taught in schools — like “social snake oil schemes” — says he’s now been placed on leave, had his email access cut and is banned from entering school buildings.

In the clip, which has now been viewed more than 500,000 times, he claims school administrators use “misdirection” to throw off concerned parents.

Tony Kinnett, who works as a science coordinator for the Indianapolis Public Schools, posted a video on Twitter earlier this month accusing the school system of lying about CRT being taught in its schools.

Kinnett told The Post Thursday that he has been on leave with pay since he posted the video on Nov. 4.

He said HR had warned him twice since then that he would have to “part ways” with the district if he continued to act as a “whistleblower,” and that staff have “clinical anxiety” working with him in the wake of his criticism. Read the rest at nypost.com.
