A parents’ rights group is calling for a federal investigation into a New York school district over its “race-based” approach to hiring and retaining teachers.
Parents Defending Education (PDE) sent a letter to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission last week outlining its concerns. The parents’ rights group claims the Rochester City School District (RCSD) is violating Title VII by updating its “equity policy” to “implement quotas for hiring diverse educators and staff.”
PDE points to the district’s Racial Equity Advocacy Leadership (REAL) Team Plan as evidence for its claim, as well as a November 2022 school board presentation titled “Staff Diversity & Staffing Update: ‘Building a workforce our students need.'”
The November 2022 presentation explained that students benefit from having teachers with “a variety of different backgrounds, races, and ethic groups.” It noted that, at the time, students of color represented 86% of the RCSD student population, while 25% of teachers were considered teachers of color.
One of RCSD’s teacher recruitment goals at the time was to “increase [the] number of teachers of color who are bilingual,” according to the presentation. A strategy included in the presentation was to ensure some “trained recruitment ambassadors” were graduates of HBCUs, otherwise known as historically Black colleges and universities.
RCSD’s REAL Team Plan outlined similar priorities to those in the November 2022 presentation. The team’s mission statement was described as “work toward ensuring that staffing of the RCSD will reflect the racial composition of the student population,” and one of its goals included “recruit and retain significantly greater numbers of qualified, appropriately credentialed, underrepresented race and class-conscious staff of color: African American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American.”
One of the REAL Team Plan’s marked “measurable outcomes & benchmark due dates” was a 10% “year-over-year improvement in number of staff of color hired.” An included strategy to accomplish the outcome was using “characteristics of race and class conscious teachers” to attract “mission-driven teachers.”
Therefore, the Rochester City School District’s imposed hiring and recruitment process underscore that not all candidates are weighed the same through the hiring process — and that this exclusion would be based on an individual’s race,” PDE’s letter reads.
PDE Vice President Caroline Moore told Crisis in the Classroom (CITC) she finds the practices “appalling.”
“Under the guise of ‘mission-driven’ educators, the district is willfully casting teachers aside who are qualified and replacing them with teachers who fit the bill of political race quotas, no matter their credentials,” Moore said. “The mission of a public school is to educate students, not foster an environment where students and teachers are pit against one another because of race and politics.”
However, some studies back up goals similar to RCSD’s. A 2017 study by the Brookings Institution found that having a teacher force reflective of a district’s student demographics can positively impact test scores, attendance and behavior in the short term.
“For instance, they find that a disadvantaged Black male’s exposure to at least one Black teacher in elementary school reduces his probability of dropping out of high school by nearly 40%,” a summary of the study reads.
RCSD declined to comment when reached by CITC. A spokesperson for theU.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission could not confirm whether an investigation into the district will be opened.
Parent group should keep their children out of the indoctrination centres. Anything else is open child abuse.
children benefit from teachers who are smart.
O/T but this seemed the best article to post it on. The Northern Ireland government is introducing seriously Orwellian health rules including forcibly entering premises and confiscate belongings without a warrant; and legislate as to “where the person may go or with whom the person has contact”. There’s more of that.

Blacks should make up the majority of teachers… in black schools.
And that’s what we need: black schools, filled with black teachers teaching black students.
Any school district with any sort of sniveling “equity policy” to “implement quotas for hiring diverse educators and staff” is setting up the young students in the districts to educational degradation and a blunt dose of dumbing-down. The only questions the school district should be asking about teachers are: Are they qualified? Are they well-spoken? Are they dignified? Are they going to let some little miscreant nigger street simian disrespect everyone and disrupt the class or are they a believer in proper discipline? Do they know self defense and are willing to apply it to an inmate population with a growing propensity for violence?
Degradation and destruction of the Edjewcation system is one of the planks of The Protocols, and they are well on the way to accomplishing that mission.
My home in New Orleans was just a couple of blocks from a public elementary school. Mind you, I lived in a fairly well-to-do neighborhood, but the people with money sent their kids to private schools if the kid didn’t get into one of the very few select “magnet” schools. So a lot of the students at the neighborhood school were black and bussed in. The “teachers” were mostly black as well and freely jibber-jabbered in monkey ghetto Ebonics, so he students didn’t really have a prayer.
The hurricane Katrina came and wiped out most of the city. It was a golden opportunity to rebuild an urban landscape that suffered from generations of severe crippling dysfunction. The destroyed neighborhoods got sparkling brand new schools, not mine as my neighborhood escaped the catastrophic flooding by a few blocks, though it did get the piss beaten out of it from the sheer force of the hurricane.
Anyway, legions of do-gooder white-bread teachers poured into the city to “Teach for America” and get those perpetually under-performing black kids pointed in the right direct. While the imported teachers, along with billions of dollars of funding, may have had good intentions, several of those teachers were raped or stabbed or swarmed by monkey mobs and beaten…and the school facilities rapidly degenerated because the nigger Orcs have no respect for anything. A bunch of the white do-gooders fled and it was back to black “teachers” spouting monkey jibber-jabber and twerking in the schoolyard.
The public schools where I now live seem to be well run, and they are well maintained and spotless, and there are standards for the teachers and discipline is maintained. Of course, there is a very low black population here to f*ck it all up, which makes all the difference. That’s not to say the curriculum is challenging, as that has certainly slid dramatically in the “everyone gets a trophy” era…and the forced national curriculum of satanic inversion….but the degeneracy is not so prevalent here, yet, because most of the citizens here still respect traditional values.Then again, there is a large high school a couple of towns down in which there’s some deranged whack-job who “identifies” as a cat…and they actually put a litter box in the room rather than administering the corrective beating they deserve and shoving them into a rubber room.

Really? The apes are already at an IQ of about 60. Which is well below the threshold of 70; retardation level. How much more lower can they get being by their own kind?
Methnks the “WOKE” agenda is worn out…
…….people have AWAKENED, had enough..
…..STFU
…..and its destined for the toilet flu$$$h
I lived in Rochester for 55 years. My children were in the Rochester schools in the 70’s. The schools were hell holes then, and they’ve only gotten worse.
There are rumours there’ll be a damaging story coming out this week which will damage Starmer. I hope so. Some are suggesting Rosie Duffield may have resigned from the Labour Party because something is coming out and she didn’t want to be tainted by it. I don’t know whether she abstained on the vote to cut pensioners fuel allowance or maybe even voted for it, but only one Labour MP voted against it and that was a man. Some hint it may be mass resignations because of their cruel policies, all while Labour ministers enrich themselves through grift. Nothing is known for sure so maybe nothing will happen.
I wonder if Klaus Schwab told Starmer to pick a corrupt bunch of shameless liars and we can all get richer in four or five years of his government, but he never imagined they’d take so much so soon.

I once read there were four “Professions”, in declining “importance” – to some extent: the priest serving the soul; the teacher serving the needs of the intellect; the doctor serving the needs of the body; and the lawyer concerned with property matters.
The modern age, called the Kali Yuga by some — the “Iron Age” — has seen an inversion of the hierarchy, illustrating the materialism of the age. This has been accompanied by an inversion of the watchwords of each profession. The religious class serve the political and arguably “satanist” class. State education brainwashes, doctors serve Big Pharma to the detriment of the body, and lawyers can only be afforded by the wealthy who are thus able to maintain inequity and inequality.
It is nigh on impossible therefore to follow the higher principles of one of the professions in the current age. That we may applaud the few that speak out — often to their own material disadvantage — overlooks the vast lack of idealism among those who seek appreciation and monetary award from their silence, rather than expressions of truth aligned to the timeless watchwords of what should be their particular callings.
