A white teacher in Sacramento County is suing his union for reserving one seat on its governing board for a non-white member — an issue of diversity versus discrimination that is percolating in courts across California.
Isaac Newman, a high school social science teacher, said he wanted to run for a newly created position on the Elk Grove Education Association last December, but was barred from applying because the union created it last year as a “BIPOC seat,” available only to members who are Black, Indigenous or other people of color.
“Union officials apparently believe that the best solution to America’s shameful history of discrimination is more discrimination,” Newman said in a statement announcing the suit, filed in federal court last week by the Fairness Center, a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit that targets unions with legal actions.
One reason he wanted to join the board, the suit said, was to oppose “the (Elk Grove Unified School) District’s recent adoption of what he believes to be aggressive and unnecessary Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (‘DEI’) policies.”
*** It’s not the only case on the issue.
California passed a law in 2018 requiring governing boards of publicly traded corporations to have at least one woman on their board, and another law in 2020 requiring corporate boards to include members of marginalized races or ethnicities or the LGBTQ community.
***Both state and federal law “prohibit so-called ‘reverse discrimination,’ so it seems to me that they have a case,” said Reuel Schiller, a labor law professor at UC College of the Law in San Francisco. He said the laws apply to labor unions as well as the government.

He’s a social study teacher.
Almost guaranteed he votes Rats. So he’s getting a taste of karma.
Still I’m glad he’s suing the union and anyone else involved in this travesty. Hopefully he’ll bankrupt them.
