A Minnesota public school’s scheming for a student trip that would go full racist and exclude whites because of their skin color has been exposed. And the trip has been canceled.
The plan for the trip for only students who “identify as a person of color” was named in a federal civil rights complaint against Highland Park High School.
Mark Perry, a retired professor, spotted the racist plan on social media and took action.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
“They maybe should have understood this was a problem before, but at least once it was brought to their attention,” said in an interview with a local television station.
“That’s the least I can expect then, that then they would do the right thing and comply with federal Civil Rights Laws – which in this case was cancelling the program or maybe it was too late to open it up to all students,” he said.
A report in the Daily Mail explained he was told the trip was canceled within hours of having filed the complaint.
The report said the trip was intended to expose students to “digital marketing and advertising careers.”
Perry told a Minnesota publication that the plan violated Title VI of the federal Civil Rights Act, as well as the district’s own non-discrimination policy.
“Just as it would be illegal and objectionable for [Highland Park Senior High School] to offer a field trip that explicitly excluded students of color… it’s equally illegal and objectionable to host a racially segregated field trip exclusively for ‘students of color,'” Perry had told school Principal Winston Tucker and BrandLab, the agency organizing the trip, in a letter.
Perry is not unfamiliar with the federal law, as he works with Do No Harm as a civil rights advocate.
“There is no ‘good’ form of discrimination, regardless of your intentions. It’s all bad and illegal when it violates the law,” he explained in a website statement.
A district official said, in a statement, “St. Paul Public Schools values our partnerships with community organizations like the BrandLab and the opportunities they provide for our students. The district remains committed to providing post-secondary and career-related opportunities to all of our students to pursue their passions.”
Spokeswoman Erica Wacker explained that the district tries to follow the rules, explaining that while the district’s National African American Parent Involvement Day is “designed for a specific group,” it actually is “open to anyone.”
