Trump’s administration threatened Tuesday to withhold federal funds from Chicago’s Publicschools for a program designed to help black students better academically, promoting the White House attack on liberal policies in education.
The survey, supervised by the Political Rights Office of the Department of Education, is based on a complaint by parents defending education, a conservative team based in Virginia, which claims that the Chicago program, the black student’s success plan, amounted to racial discrimination. According to the complaint, the school district “fails students of all races and ethnicities, which makes this racially divided program even more intense”.
A representative of the school area did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
A press release from the area stated that the plan is part of the system’s commitment to eliminate the gaps of educational opportunities and to ensure that black students have the support needed to achieve academic success and personal development. ” teachers and leaders and promoting substantial commitment with black students and families. “
Trump’s administration has reduced the number of civil rights researchers in the Department of Education, but has also increased the number of researches in programs that administration officials consider students unjustly based on race or special parameters to transsexual students.
A study is aimed at Denver’s public school system over a neutral sex bath in a school. A study on the school district in Ithaca, New York, focused on annual “Color Summit Students”, which a conservative team known as the equal protection program he complained had distinguished white students.
The Department of Education has also opened surveys throughout Public School Systems in California and Maine. California’s research concerns a state law that protects transsexual students from revelations to their parents. Trump’s administration threatened to withhold federal funding by Maine, because the state ignored the executive order of President Trump banning transsexual athletes who had been assigned men at birth by their involvement in girls’ sports.
