State education officials say the hotline so far has received 2,000 emails and 600 calls and voicemails.

Of which a half dozen have been deemed credible. Article also notes a similar system in Virginia has already been shut down, and parallel efforts in NC and LA also seem to be getting very few relevant tips.
Virginia had to shut down its line because of an online trolling campaign.

AZ seems to be in the middle of a legislative battle to remove such lessons from classrooms


CA if I recall correctly, has already seen lawsuits filed against schools for what they've taught.



So I'd say that's the big one. That one will set precedent for racial discrimination in schools.

And that last one's a doozy. It's not some public school that relies on public funding....it's a big fancy expensive private school. They can afford lawyers that the public schools can't.

Even if the school settles....these conservative groups will switch tactics and just start funding racial discrimination lawsuits until teaching this racist tripe is so expensive, no one will bother taking the risk.

I'm not sure what your article says....is it implying the lack of phone calls = a lack of racist curriculums?

If so, perhaps you should consider that absurdly stupid reductive thinking a reflection of what that media source thinks of its readers. There's plenty of reasons why these lessons have been put on hold, set aside, or abandoned altogether (perhaps a Democrat doesn't want to lose reelection). Katie Hobbs at least seems to be defending the ability of teachers to tell their students that they are inherently racist and so is our nation...which would be odd if they weren't trying to teach that in schools.
