Conservative Virginia group files lawsuit to end Black student achievement program.

[BiggWebb79]

A federal civil rights complaint lodged by a conservative Virginia group has led L.A. Unified to end racial preferences in a program aimed at helping struggling Black students.
The legal action against LAUSD is part of a broader playbook of the political right, which has fueled culture-war divides at school districts across the country.
Supporters of the Black Student Achievement Plan are outraged and want the program preserved in its original form.
Under pressure after a conservative group took legal action, the Los Angeles Unified School District will overhaul a $120-million academic program for struggling Black students by eliminating race as a factor in determining which children will be helped.

The decision has outraged supporters of the district’s Black Student Achievement Plan, who are demanding that officials stand by the original program, which had begun to yield some early, positive results.

The Virginia-based group Parents Defending Education — whose mission is to oppose “destructive practices” in schools, including policies related to race, sexual orientation and gender identity — had filed a complaint in July 2023 with the federal Office for Civil Rights against BSAP.

Ahem,
Ok yeah but... what are the Democrats doing to stop this? See this is why Democrats aren't shyt and DON'T CARE ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE. I'm not even mad at the Republicans, they're going to do what they do. Matter of fact, I'll even carry water for them as they do it. Sooner or later the Republicans will dismantle everything around us and you Democrat SHILLS will wake up to the fact that everything bad that has, is, and ever will happen is the fault of Democrats.

The blubbering both sides brigade gonna be here and make it all about “tethers”

People demanding black specific policies instead of just good policies just make it easier for anti black groups to target us.

People need to understand we have powerful enemies, and Use some fukkin strategy getting stuff done for us. Stay on code instead of trying to be open and transparent about everything to outsiders.

We been seeing this for a couple years now and it's clear that there are enough republican judges in place to let this stuff keep sizzling until the Supreme Court takes up a case and really makes it hot. Regardless I think this is an indictment of the Coli "tangibles' argument. All this performative "give xyz to black students/women/men/etc" stuff is about to be phased out. The logical thing to do is simply put people in position to ensure black people are heavily selected for loans, subsidies, education help, etc. It won't make the headlines, Coli militants won't know about it but that's clearly a better idea than saying "we're only giving this to black people" and getting destroyed in court.

I’m sorry, at this point, the ppl who are too slow to get it are going to be the ones who don’t understand how to maneuver if Trump is re-elected. That’s the irony here. It is what it is.

I always say it’s Black women, but a lot of Black folks in general lack critical thinking skills, due to trauma and our experiences and not having it taught to us in our youth…

But yea. Because if this isn’t something that we understand in 2024, I don’t know where tf we are headed. This is common sense.
