EXCLUSIVE: Biden Admin To Investigate School District That Allegedly Created Race-Based Student Groups – By Reagan Reese (Daily Caller) / Mar 22 2023

The Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) opened an investigation into an Oregon school district that allegedly created race-based student groups, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Parents Defending Education (PDE), a group focused on parental rights, filed a civil rights complaint in January alleging to the OCR that Ashland School District allegedly created exclusive groups specifically for students of color. The OCR notified PDE in a letter that it would be opening an investigation into the school district on Monday.

“We are glad to learn that the Department of Education has opened an investigation into one of our allegations against Ashland School District,” Nicole Neily, president of PDE, told the DCNF. “Student affinity groups like those offered at both Ashland High School and Ashland Middle School are clear violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s prohibition of race-based discrimination.”

The school district allegedly hosts several affinity groups including the “Black Student Union,” for students who identify as black or African American, PDE’s complaint stated. Ashland School District also allegedly created a “Latinx Student Union,” a group aimed at creating “a safe space for students of Latin/Hispanic descent.”
