The Rochester City School District is now under scrutiny for allegedly engaging in racial discrimination through its hiring practices as part of its woke “equity policy” regime, which has now resulted in demands for a federal investigation.
Parents Defending Education (PDE) submitted a letter to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the agency’s New York District Office, requesting an inquiry into the district.
“Rochester City School District appears to be intentionally discriminating against its employees because of their race by making race a barrier to opportunity,” the group wrote.
“Rochester City School District cannot discriminate on the basis of race for employment decisions. We ask that your office promptly investigate the allegations in this complaint, act swiftly to remedy unlawful policies and practices, and order appropriate relief.” the group continued.
One document in particular that the district developed for its “Racial Equity Advocacy Leadership Team” was emphasized by PDE.
The document delineated specific hiring objectives that appear to disadvantage white individuals on the basis of their race.
The district is accused of engaging in racial discrimination in its employment process, according to PDE’s letter.
The documents indicate that the Rochester City School District maintained demographic data on its personnel and new hires, and devised a strategy to establish a hiring pipeline from historically black colleges and universities.
