The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) has filed a Title VI civil rights complaint with the Department of Education urging action to address allegations of discrimination against a White student in the Green Bay Area Public School District. The complaint states that the district’s policy explicitly prioritizes reading support resources based on race, leading to the student being denied extra help due to his race. This action is seen as a violation of the U.S. Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The mother of the student, Colbey Decker, has brought attention to the issue, expressing concern over the unequal treatment of students based on race in the district. Decker’s son, who has dyslexia, was denied resources based on his race, which she believes goes against the principle of treating all students equally. The complaint aims to address this injustice and ensure that all students have access to the support they need regardless of their race.
The Trump administration has recently ordered the Department of Education to enforce measures to ensure color-blind treatment of all students in compliance with the Constitution. Decker’s complaint is viewed as a crucial opportunity to address race discrimination in K-12 schools. The district is urged to adopt a color-blind policy to provide equal opportunities for all students.
The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has been called upon to investigate and address the discrimination allegations in the complaint. Both the district and the Department of Education have been asked to take swift action to remedy the unlawful policies and provide appropriate relief to the affected student. The district has refrained from commenting until further review of the situation.
