Pacific Legal Foundation has filed an excellent lawsuit against the city of Hartford, Conn., on behalf of seven families. The city runs a magnet-school system and insists on the schools having a politically correct racial and ethnic makeup. That’s bad enough, but on top of that, it will refuse admission to African-American and Latino students if there are not enough white and Asian-American students in the schools even if as a result those slots remain unfilled.
As PLF concludes, “Black and Hispanic students are therefore denied the same opportunity to attend the City’s magnet schools only because of their race.” And this, of course, is a violation of the Constitution and federal civil-rights laws.
Once again, liberals are perfectly happy to sacrifice individuals of any color on the altar of political correctness. Read all about it here.
