A high school in Minnesota was forced to cancel a field trip scheduled only for students who 'identify as a person of color' after a civil rights complaint was filed.
Mark Perry, a community member and retired professor in Twin Cities in Minnesota, saw information on the field trip, which allegedly only was available to students who identified as students of color, on social media.
The trip for Highland Park High School offered a chance for students to be exposed to digital marketing and advertising careers, according to Perry.
Perry told the Star Tribune that the event, which has been alleged to have discriminated against white students in the civil rights complaint, violated Title VI of the federal Civil Rights Act.
He also said that it equally violated the district's own anti-discrimination policy.
'They maybe should have understood this was a problem before, but at least once it was brought to their attention,' he told Fox 9.
'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.'
Within hours of contacting the school, he received a messaged back that said the trip had been canceled.

Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.
Howz about a “No Union” publik skool?
Sorry, but I had to spell that to union standards.
“ messaged back that said the trip had been canceled.”
They couldn’t just say attendance is open to all students??!!
So if a kid had one white parent would they still be included or excluded?
That goes to show how asinine this is......blacks are more than likely THE most racist ethnicity to ever exist in this country.
What’s the difference between a “person of color” and a “colored person”?
Asking for a friend...
this kind of government approved and encouraged discrimination should be challenged at every level.
So I was wondering. Had this trip been allowed to happen could someone have planned a “white only” trip and if the complained used this first trip as precedence in the lawsuit?
All of my cars are white, except for one car of color. It’s red.
They need a day without Whitey so they can act natural and be themselves.
“blacks are more than likely THE most racist ethnicity to ever exist in this country.”
along with the “weez bee owed” attitude.
“The trip for Highland Park High School offered a chance for students to be exposed to digital marketing and advertising careers....”
Ah, so it was an attempt to nullify potential competition. Got it 👌
Why isn’t someone fired, and or sued over this?
Just cancelling the trip isn’t enough!!!
Imagine had this been the other way around. The news networks would be outside the school with their satellite trucks.
“blacks are more than likely THE most racist ethnicity to ever exist in this country.”
Chris Rock said it, “Who is more racist, black people or white people? Black People! Because we hate black people, too!”
“BrandLab, the organizing agency for the field trip, said in a statement to the Star Tribune that it is ‘committed to inclusivity in marketing and advertising, truly representing the world we live in.’
‘One of our programs provides exposure opportunities for high school students to learn more about the advertising and marketing professions through field trips to local agencies and businesses. We were working with Highland Park High School to find 11th and 12th grade students interested in attending a field trip on Thursday, February 27,’ it added.
The organization’s CEO Kelli Williams also said it’s working with the high school to set up a new date for the trip by the end of the year, the outlet reported”.
Wonder why they had to make a whole new trip? What are they hiding?
Investigate these people.
It’s AUTOMATIC with leftists that it is not possible to discriminate against white people. They feel it’s their right to discriminate against because some of their ancestors were slaves. Retribution, reparations and revenge (the three Rs). That feeling will NEVER be over and BLACKS will never stop calling for the three Rs
A quick look at their website and rankings - this high school looks to be a kind of magnet school in St. Paul Minnesota, for white liberals and a vast array of migrants.
Very typical “blue city” magnet school - while most blacks and migrants are shunted off to chaotic and low quality schools, and most whites (and Asian professionals) flee to the suburbs or private schools, this would be one of the few better schools for hipster urban whites/Asians and a select few academically-capable migrants.
Its website is chock-full of woke buzzwords and slogans, provided in various languages, again standard operating procedure for such a place run by brainwashed woke ideologue educrats
We have gone from Negro to colored to black to African American to people of color. Keep up! /s
It’s just a constant moving of the standard to keep us re-qualifying as not being racist. It’s ridiculous.
No difference at all, except that ‘colored person’ is the old fashioned way to refer to black people, while ‘person of color is a more modern term, which also includes other minorities, such as latino, American Indian, arab and asian.
