In a pivotal move, the Department of Education has directed educational institutions to eliminate racial discrimination, both overt and covert, compounding the narrative of the Supreme Court's retrenchment from desegregation policies decades after Brown v. Board. In a letter from Craig Trainor, the government emphasized that all forms of segregation violate the Fourteenth Amendment and are impermissible. The initiative highlights efforts to address and prevent racial bias in school programs, especially those that could suggest unique burdens based on race, indirectly encouraging institutions to scrutinize their policies for covert discrimination.
The recent directive from the Department of Education aims to eradicate both overt and covert racial discrimination in educational institutions, emphasizing the equal-protection clause and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
Craig Trainor's letter warned schools that any form of separation or segregation based on race is impermissible and extends beyond just admissions policies previously deemed unconstitutional.
