White girls are barred from a public school leadership program in Oak Park, Illinois. A watchdog group says the program is in “direct violation” of the law.
“Girls on the Rise” is a “safe space for girls of color,” according to the Wednesday Journal, a local news outlet. Oak Park Township Supervisor Dominique Hickman created the program, which is now offered in at least four public schools, including Oak Park River Forest High School.
