FIRST ON FOX: A conservative, Trump-aligned legal group filed a civil rights complaint alleging that a school district in Colorado is using race as a major factor when determining disciplinary procedures and has retaliated against administrators who attempt to push back.
America First Legal (AFL), founded by top Trump advisor Stephen Miller, filed a civil rights complaint asking the Department of Education and the Department of Justice to investigate Cherry Creek School District, alleging it is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In its complaint, AFL cites a specific instance in which a Black student and an Asian student commit nearly identical behavior, but only the Asian student was disciplined.
AFL also obtained undercover recordings of discussions between administrators that allegedly show them admitting that the district's DEI chief has been interfering with disciplinary procedures on the basis of race. When an administrator tried to step in and call out this allegedly racist activity, the official was retaliated against, according to AFL.
"If a public school district can openly run discipline and employment systems through a racial filter, then the rule of law means nothing," said Nick Barry, senior counsel at America First Legal. "This is discrimination, plain and simple. It is the soft bigotry of low expectations and should not be tolerated. The Department must intervene and restore equal treatment for students, educators, and families."

Cherry Creek is a southern suburb of Denver ...
Cherry Creek High School won this years 5A state Football Championship. According to the full article, black culture is hate-based and therefore has the right to engage in racist hate speech. Non-blacks are not allowed to use the exact same words.
>>the district’s DEI chief has been interfering with disciplinary procedures on the basis of race.
Poor reporting.. that DEI chief has a name and an address and a phone number, none of which are mentioned in the article.
Like everything else in Denver, Cherry Creek used to be nice, but that was a long time ago.
Denver has really gone to hell. My BiL lives in a nice neighborhood and has had to put in security fences and an alarm system. Thieves would steal the rattan furniture off of his front porch.
Cherry Creek Mall and Cherry Creek North are in Denver. Cherry Creek Schools are in Aurora, Co. and Yes, every house in Denver needs fencing to prevent thieves from grabbing. At the same time Craig’s List free stuff has got lots of free stuff and there are lots of thrift stores for 2nd hand merchandise.
“A conservative, Trump-aligned legal group...”
Why was it necessary to lead off the article with this description? Is such a summary used when the NAACP or the ACLU is the plaintiff?
“the soft bigotry of low expectations”
Oh there are expectations. They expect black students to be out of control as a natural state of being and should not be punished for it.
