Mountain Lakes school district discriminates against white students: lawsuit

A Mountain Lakes parent is claiming discrimination against his white son in a federal lawsuit filed against the school district and district leaders.

The parent, only identified as B.L. said since June 6, 2020 the district has created a hostile educational environment for his son and other students by "a campaign of open racial discrimination" within some of the programming.

The suit, filed June 6, said the district "forced a racial political ideology" on students, which violates students' constitutional right not to be discriminated against because of their race or skin color.

It also claims that the district is force-feeding students an "ill-named 'anti-racist' agenda" while receiving federal funding for programming and teachers and administrators.

Mountain Lakes is a predominantly white community with about 75% of 4,472 residents identifying as white and a median income of $225,308, according to 2020 census data. Further data shows almost 1,500 students enrolled in its schools, with 641 students attending the high school.

The suit demands that the district not be allowed to apply or receive federal funds until it stops the accused "racially discriminatory practices" as well as stops supporting programs claiming white privilege and systemic injustices.

In the wake of George Floyd's murder in May 2020, former Mountain Lakes High School Principal Frank Sanchez emailed parents condemning racism and included a pamphlet he wrote called "Seeking Justice from Reflection to Action." The pamphlet suggested institutional racism existed within the school district, the lawsuit claims.

Ron Berutti, attorney for B.L., said that as far as he knows, there is no evidence of institutional racism at Mountain Lakes and there has never been an accusation of it against the district. He said that Sanchez's comments potentially open the district up to liability.

Are there no private or religious-run schools there?

Identifying.
I identify as fed up.

Others can say more eloquently than I that this is educational malpractice and the race- and gender activists should never have gotten this far into classroom curricula and activities. Corrective measures:

1. Get the activist educrats and union shills out of school boards. Know that this will be a 10-20 year effort, fighting against union $$.

2. Sue schools, school boards, and responsible educrats (personally!) that do this kind of crap. They are thugs and learn when their snouts get rapped, hard, multiple times. The numbers of schools sued need to be many, so as to dilute outside (= unions and activist groups) $$ supporting the thugs. Smaller school systems should be special targets, since they are likely to be less capable of fighting back, and the total number of victories will be meaningful in taking on larger school systems.

The bottom line is that school districts and educrats need to be made fearful of being responsible for crap. That's how thugs and bullies learn.

Get your kids out of the public schools fast.  Either home school them or send them to a private school.  The public schools are beyond saving,

Nothing new about this. It has been happening in some places since the late 1960's.
