A national parents’ group filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against a public school district in Massachusetts for allegedly violating the U.S. Constitution by racially segregating students into “affinity groups” and imposing a student speech code.

The lawsuit comes as parents and the education establishment across the United States are battling over critical race theory and the systemic racism that leftists argue plagues the nation.

Almost 70 years ago, Supreme Court precedent established that “public schools cannot segregate students by race, and students do not abandon their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate,” states the legal complaint in Parents Defending Education v. Wellesley Public Schools (WPS), which was filed Oct. 19 in U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

But the school district in this case is “flouting both of these principles,” the complaint continues.

The lead defendant is WPS, the public school district for Wellesley, Massachusetts. It provides K-12 public education services for more than 4,700 students, operating one preschool, seven elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.

Under the guise of “racial equity,” WPS sponsors and organizes racial “affinity group” meetings that welcome some students but exclude others, “based solely on the races and ethnicities of the students involved.” This racial segregation policy runs afoul of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, the complaint states.

WPS released a five-year “equity strategic plan” in 2020 that committed the school district to “pursue justice for … historically marginalized communities,” “continuously examine systems of privilege and bias,” “work collectively to disrupt and dismantle inequity in all its forms,” and achieve “racial equity.”

To accomplish this, the district announced it would create “affinity spaces for students with shared identity” in order to “nurture and affirm positive racial identity development.” Under what the district called its new “Racial Affinity Group Policy,” racial “affinity groups” and “affinity spaces” were formed.

The policy is inherently exclusionary, the complaint states. According to WPS, a racial affinity group is “an opportunity for people within an identity group to openly share their experiences without the risk of feeling like they will offend someone from another group, and without another group’s voices.”

WPS also punishes student speech it deems “biased,” which includes any student speech it considers “offensive,” has an “impact” on others, “treats another person differently,” or “demonstrates conscious or unconscious bias.” The speech code, according to the legal complaint, violates the First and 14th Amendments, as well as the Massachusetts Students’ Freedom of Expression Law.

“Wellesley Public Schools maintains multiple policies that demonstrate the district’s deep contempt for the constitutional rights of its students,” Parents Defending Education (PDE) President Nicole Neily said in a statement. “Racial and viewpoint discrimination have no place in an American public school, and we are proud to fight on behalf of our members to put a stop to these unconstitutional policies.

“It is appalling that an American public school has consciously implemented a policy to segregate students based on race and ethnicity. Excluding children from activities based on immutable characteristics is not only immoral, but unconstitutional—and must be ended immediately—both in Wellesley and everywhere else this practice exists.”

PDE describes itself on its website as “a national grassroots organization working to reclaim our schools from activists promoting harmful agendas … we are fighting indoctrination in the classroom and for the restoration of a healthy, non-political education for our kids.”

The complaint provides examples of harsh treatment of students thought to hold conservative opinions.

The children of a person identified as Parent C are afraid to speak freely in class. One of those children is said to have been held by a teacher after class because the child mentioned the parent was conservative. The teacher lectured the student about why the parent’s views should change. One of the same parent’s children was reported to have been “physically assaulted in a school hallway by classmates after the assailants discovered that Parent C had voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election.” A guidance counselor is said to have dismissed the child’s concerns because the perpetrators were minority students.

Other students “routinely yell at and berate a fellow student whenever the student expresses conservative beliefs or speaks in support of Republican politicians. The students’ teacher is present while this occurs but does not intervene and appears to agree with the aggressor students,” the complaint states.

Wellesley Public Schools officials couldn’t be reached for comment over the weekend.

A Massachusetts public school system is actively promoting racially segregated student groups and a “bias reporting program” that encourages students to report instances of their peers’ biases to school officials for disciplinary action, a lawsuit filed Tuesday alleges.
Parents Defending Education filed the lawsuit against the Boston-area Wellesley Public Schools Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts—a lawsuit that specifically targets both the racially segregated student groups and the school’s speech policies.
“Nearly seven decades of Supreme Court precedent have made two things clear,” said the lawsuit. “Public schools cannot segregate students by race, and students do not abandon their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate. [Wellesley Public Schools] is flouting both of these principles.”
The school system has held “multiple racially segregated events for students,” the Parents Defending Education lawsuit said, describing how the school district’s equity director lamented that the school did not keep a list of students sorted by race and ordered white students not to come to certain events.
Not only did the school host these racially segregated events, the lawsuit said, it also refused to host a Jewish students’ affinity group or to fly Israeli or Thin Blue Line flags “as a gesture of viewpoint diversity” when parents complained about Black Lives Matter flags at various schools.
