The nation’s leading consumer protection agency has entered the battle between a Nashville college preparatory school and parents who claim Lipscomb Academy has not only gone “woke” but is silencing speech.

“Families violate confidentiality requirements if they … Publicly speculate or criticize personnel decisions or school matters,” the code of conduct states.
