An Illinois high school has been accused of offering several math courses that are restricted to students based on their race, according to a civil rights complaint obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Mark Perry, Senior Fellow at Do No Harm, a medical watchdog group, filed a civil rights complaint against Evanston Township High School for allegedly offering several algebra, calculus and precalculus course codes open only to students who are black or “latinx.” The complaint, filed to the Chicago Office for Civil Rights, identifies several class codes that are “restricted to students who identify as Latinx, all genders,” or restricted to students who “identify as Black, all genders,” according to the 2023-2023 course catalog.
