Minneapolis Public Schools' contract with a teachers union says that white teachers will be laid off or reassigned outside of seniority order before “educators of color” if Minneapolis Public Schools needs to reduce staff

 

The clause was part of the deal struck by the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and MPS on March 25 to end a 14-day teacher strike affecting 29,000 students.

Alpha News reported the story and a partial screenshot of a contract.

“Past discrimination by the District disproportionately impacted the hiring of underrepresented teachers in the District, as compared to the relevant labor market and the community, and resulted in a lack of diversity of teachers,” the agreement says.:snip:

It gets better

Only Racists Need Apply

I don’t know that there has ever been a place and time in American history when only racists were permitted to teach in the public schools. Mississippi in, say, 1935? I don’t know, maybe. But to my knowledge they had no purity test. Contrast that with Minnesota in 2022, where the Minnesota Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board is considering a new standard that would only allow people who profess racist doctrines to be certified to teach in the state.

*You may think this is so shocking that it couldn’t happen in your community, but you would be wrong. This kind of thing is going on across America, driven largely by the teachers’ unions, which are racist and grotesquely anti-American. These initiatives are being promoted just about everywhere, and they will succeed unless sane Americans mobilize to defeat them.

Minneapolis schools sued over racially discriminatory teachers contract

"It is incredible that in this day and age a school system would engage in blatant racial discrimination in employing teachers," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Minneapolis Public Schools was sued Tuesday over a clause in its teachers contract that calls for laying off white teachers first.

The contract was agreed to by the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and the school district at the conclusion of a three-week teachers strike in March. The Minneapolis Board of Education approved the new contract in May.

Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the school district, its superintendent, and the Board of Education on behalf of taxpayer Deborah Jane Clapp. The lawsuit claims that article 15 of the contract, which provides “protections for educators of color,” violates the Equal Protection Guarantee of the Minnesota Constitution.

“There is no similar provision covering educators who are not ‘of color,’” the lawsuit says. “Under the contract, teachers of color are exempt from Defendant MPS’s seniority-based layoffs and reassignments, which means, when layoffs or reassignments occur, the next senior teacher who is not ‘of color’ would be laid off or reassigned. In addition, the contract mandates that Defendants reinstate teachers of color over more senior teachers who are not ‘of color.'”

The lawsuit asks the court to declare the “racial and ethnic preference provisions” of the contract illegal and prevent the district from taking any action to implement the provisions.
