A parental rights watchdog filed a civil rights complaint against Rochester Public Schools, a K-12 school district in Minnesota, for “discrimination on the basis of race” in programs that receive federal funding.

In its complaint, Parents Defending Education accused the southeast Minnesota school district of violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment by excluding white people from certain opportunities.
