The U.S. Department of Justice has sued Minneapolis Public Schools, alleging that its collective bargaining agreement violates the Civil Rights Act by giving preferential treatment to teachers of color, particularly through the "Black Men Teach Fellows" program, in hiring, retention, and benefits.
The DOJ claims these race-based policies undermine merit and equal opportunity, seeking a court order to block such practices in future contracts.
The lawsuit, filed in Minnesota federal court, challenges the district's goal to increase BIPOC staff to 40% by 2026 and 54.3% of new hires by 2027.
The district has not commented, citing ongoing litigation.
