The latest Minneapolis teachers' union contract stipulates that white teachers will be laid off or reassigned before "educators of color" — regardless of their seniority — in the event Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) needs to reduce staff.
The Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) and MPS struck a deal back on March 25 to end a 14-day teacher strike, after which the two sides drew up and ratified a new collective bargaining agreement complete with various proposals. One of those proposals dealt with "educators of color protections." The two bodies reached an agreement stating that if a non-white teacher is subject to excess, MPS must excess a white teacher with the "next least" seniority. (According to the United Federation of Teachers, "excessing" means "reducing staff in a particular school when there is a reduction in the number of available positions in a title or license area in that school.")
The agreement reads: "Starting with the Spring 2023 Budget Tie-Out Cycle, if excessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the District shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population." (Whites are a minority in various parts of Minneapolis.)
That agreement clearly violates the Civil Rights Act, as well as the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. But no matter — let's not quibble over the details.
I would like to know who gets "excessed" after white teachers. Are Mexican educators next on the list? Jewish? Would black males be let go before lesbian females of Asian descent, or vice versa?

Can’t see how SCOTUS would allow this if it is taken to court.
Dunno for sure, but I suspect anybody in the “teaching” field is likely a hardcore liberal/socialist. So any whitey affected by the ruling is forced to smile and reap the benefits of the mass insanity known as liberalism.
In what universe is this NOT racist?
Reverse Apartheid
So how does this work ???
“The students need teachers that look like them etc”
but what about white students dont they need white teachers ???
Maybe they can have classrooms for black teachers and students and other classrooms for white teachers and students ...
Gee maybe they can have whole schools that way ...
Wait ...
The Minneapolis Public School officials who agreed to such a contract should be tried, convicted, and sentenced to be publicly flogged.
Seems like the most unconstitutional thing ever.
How about tenure and effectiveness? Maybe just let the kids teach themselves.
So...throw away merit based hiring (affirmative action), then ensure gradual degradation by winnowing out the meritoriously hired in favor of those hired without regard to merit. Now there’s a plan!
Agreed. If you’re a white teacher, you are so riddled with guilt and privilege that this makes complete sense. You owe reparations so You’ll gladly step aside.
We shall overcome....
Ain’t gonna let nobody turn me ‘round...
It isn’t nice to block the doorways...
Like a tree on the water, we will not be moved...
Get out your guitars and start strumming.
Simon LeGris was white. You’re white, too, so damned for all time, even if you do refrain from uppitiness.
This should be an easy layup in court,
As I said on another thread yesterday....I guess Whites only bathrooms and water fountains wasn’t so bad after all.
Blatantly unconstitutional, via the 14th Amendment.
Open racism against white people.
