From Fox News: President Donald Trump’s Department of Education has launched an investigation into a school district in central New York for allegedly discriminating against students based on their race.
“We are pleased that the Dept. of Education has opened a formal investigation into racial discrimination against White students at ICSD,” Cornell professor William Jacobson and founder of the Equal Protection Project, said of Ithaca City School District, in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“The discrimination was deliberate, open, and offensive, going so far as to have a Frequently Asked Question on the event website explaining why White students were not invited,” Jacobson added.
The complaint, filed on Aug. 12, 2024 by Jacobson, founder of the Equal Protection Project, claims a “four-year systematic exclusion of White students from annual Student of Color United (SOCU) Summits at the Ithaca City School District (ICSD) in Ithaca, New York.”
