A conservative organization that sought to host a debate about the American dream in the black community at the University of the District of Columbia alleges the institution is committing racial and viewpoint discrimination.
Gabriel Nadales, national director of Our America Foundation, said the public university simply could have denied the event request.
Instead, the historically black Washington, D.C. school “specifically invoked race and nationality among other protected classes to make their decision. And as a public university receiving public funds, the university cannot make a decision based on race,” he told The College Fix in a phone interview Tuesday.
On Monday, Our America and Fair for All, a liberty-focused civil rights organization, filed a complaint against the university to the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights.
