Missouri AG Fights Imaginary Diversity Ghosts, Wins FBI Spot
In a dazzling display of political theater, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey blamed the Hazelwood School District for an off-campus March 2024 fight between a Black and a white studentâdespite it happening half a mile away after school hours. Bailey accused the district of putting 'race-based policies over basic student safety' after police quit due to mandatory diversity training, only to be punked by actual cops who found zero race angle in the fight. Bailey, who pledged in early 2023 to chill on public records fishing expeditions, nevertheless bombarded schools with cease-and-desist orders. His antics landed him a co-deputy FBI gig under Trump on September 15, 2024âa surprising promotion from this soap-opera style saga of lawsuits dismissed as 'absurd' and strategized PR flurries that often ended as courtroom comedy. In short, Bailey turned culture wars and press releases into an obscure art form.
