Defending Education filed a complaint with the Department of Education‘s Office for Civil Rights last week over Minneapolis Public Schools’ use of anti-constitutional race-based segregation after several high schools in the district offered courses required for graduation only to black students.

The school district’s black only course, which forces non-black students to choose from a narrower list of class options in order to graduate, clearly violates the color blindness mandated by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, and contradicts the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education.
