An education advocacy group hit Portland Public Schools (PPS) with a
federal civil rights complaint Thursday over a policy that requires
factoring students’ race and gender identity into disciplinary
decisions.

Parents Defending Education (PDE) alleges in its federal civil rights
complaint that PPS is violating civil rights law and the Equal
Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment through its new “Student Support
and Discipline” policy, which requires educators to respond to
“disruptive student behavior” by developing a behavior support plan that
considers characteristics like race. The policy also requires the school
district to assign educators based on race and gender identity.

“Portland Public Schools has enacted several concerning policies that
treat students and educators differently based on race and gender
identity,” the complaint alleges. “For instance, Portland Public Schools
is disciplining some students and not others, solely based on immutable
characteristics.” (RELATED: Group Seeking To Push ‘Racial Balancing’ In
Public Schools Has The Backing Of Major Left-Wing Donors)

The policy states that behavior support plans “must take into
consideration the impact of issues related to the student’s trauma,
race, gender identity/presentation, sexual orientation, disability,
social emotional learning, and restorative justice as appropriate for
the student.”

For teacher assignments, the new policy prevents the district from
transfering an educator when doing so “would decrease the building’s
percentage of under-represented male or female or
transgender/nonbinary/gender non-conforming professional educators to
less than thirty percent” or “decrease the building’s percentage of
minority teachers to less than the student minority percentage in the
building or below the percentage of minority professional educators in
the District,” according to PDE’s complaint.

The policy also requires schools to maintain a “School Climate Team”
that handles “ongoing training in implicit bias, antiracism and
culturally responsive practices,” according to KATU 2 ABC.

PPS and the Department of Education did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
