An Indiana middle school is facing a civil rights complaint after a sixth-grade teacher allegedly held a racially exclusive party for Hispanic students, sidelining other students to a study hall. The complaint, filed Friday with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights and the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, accuses Tippecanoe Valley Middle School in Akron, Indiana, of violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL) has issued a formal letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), warning of a potential lawsuit if racially discriminatory programs are not reformed within 60 days. The challenge centers on allegations that white farmers are systematically excluded or disadvantaged under USDA rules that prioritize race and gender.
