Wisconsin mom mulls lawsuit alleging school district is pushing 'horrifying' race-based policy: 'Problematic'

 A Wisconsin parent is mulling legal action over a situation where she alleges her son was passed over being given the extra learning attention he needed due to language on the school's website that says it prioritizes additional help for students based on race.

Attorneys for the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty argue on behalf of their client Mrs. Colbey Decker that a "troubling" and "unlawful" policy in the Green Bay Area School District "explicitly prioritizes reading support resources based on race, thereby violating the U.S. Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964," according to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.

"Mrs. Decker’s child, who suffers from dyslexia, has received different (and less favorable) services because he is white," the letter states. "If he was Black, Hispanic, or Native American, Mrs. Decker’s son would have been treated more favorably and received different services."

Decker told Fox News Digital that her son had been receiving one-on-one reading services in another district and that she assumed he would continue receiving that when he moved into the current district in January 2024 but that he was waitlisted for that additional help. ...............
