Black Emergency Response Team v. Drummond

Summary

The Tenth Circuit reviewed the district court’s partial preliminary injunction against Oklahoma’s H.B. 1775 subsection B, which bars school employees from requiring or making part of a course eight specified “discriminatory” concepts. The court held that the district court abused its discretion by enjoining enforcement of the statute’s “require” clause and the two concepts (c) and (d) as vague, affirmed the rulings that the other six concepts were not vague, vacated the injunction and remanded for further proceedings. The court declined to address the plaintiffs’ First Amendment right‑to‑receive‑information claims for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
