A wealthy Florida couple has filed a lawsuit demanding that the Catholic school their daughters attend return their $240,000 donation and reimburse their younger daughter's tuition for teaching 'woke' LGBTQ curriculum. Anthony and Barbara Scarpo pledged to donate $1.35 million to the Academy of the Holy Names in Tampa, Florida at a fundraising event in 2017. By 2018, they had already paid $240,000 towards their pledge and have raised more than $9 million for the school. For their efforts, the school renamed its auditorium the Scarpo Family Theater and named the two philanthropists co-chairs of the school's fundraising campaign. In the letter, the school officials wrote that the school has to 'reject racism and hatred' in the wake of the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
