Only racial discrimination at american schools is the affirmative action grading all schools employ to avoid flunking 90% of the blacks.
Feds investigate Redneck Day at Arizona high school
July 26th 2013
The U.S. Department of Education has officially opened an investigation into allegations that an Arizona high schools campus-wide Redneck Day amounted to a federal civil rights violation.
The kerfuffle giving rise to the investigation arose back in May at Queen Creek High School on the outskirts of Phoenix. The student council hatched a plan to energize students for prom week that included a faculty adviser-approved Redneck Day. The point was to dress like and spoof Duck Dynasty, an A&E reality TV show which follows a wealthy, eccentric Louisiana family.
Its not exactly clear how dressing like a hillbilly was going to motivate anyone for prom. What did happen, though, is that one kid bedecked himself in Confederate flag regalia, which offended some students. (RELATED: Redneck Day, White Trash Wednesday dont go over so well at public schools)
In a July 18 missive to Reverend Jarrett Maupin II, the complainant, the Departments Office for Civil Rights branch office in Denver details the status of the investigation.
On May 23, 2013, we received your complaint alleging the Queen Creek Unified School District (District) discriminated on the basis of race, the letter reads. Specifically, you allege that the District discriminated by creating a racially hostile environment at the redneck day event on May 1, 2013, at Queen Creek High School and by failing to take action to correct the racially hostile environment.
The racial hostility apparently occurred because of one student who was wearing the Confederate flagapparently like a cape. An assistant principal asked the student to remove the flag cape, which he did.
