FOX NEWS
— The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has launched an investigation into an Illinois school district based on a teacher’s allegations of racial segregation practices. The complaint, filed by the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) on behalf of teacher Dr. Stacy Deemar, alleges Evanston-Skokie School District 65 is acting in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by using “privilege walks” and other racial practices at school. “The policies and practices to which the District allegedly subjects students and teachers shocks the conscience. Amid a dismal academic achievement record, the District appears to focus on unlawfully segregating students by race, instructing students to step forward and others to step back on the basis of race, and associating ‘Whiteness’ with the devil. If true, how is this conceivable in America today?” Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor said in a press release on May 1 by the Trump Education Department.
