The Herald-Sun reports that the Southern Poverty Law Center is threatening to file a discrimination complaint aganst Durham Public Schools with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights . Why? SPLC alleges that Durham discriminates against Latino students. You’ll find the SPLC’s allegations here.
I find this allegation fascinating and ironic, not because the SPLC is making it — they’re in the business of making these kinds of allegations — but because Durham prides itself in being welcoming to minorities and immigrants, regardless of legal status.
