Parents Sue School System for Discriminating Against High-Achieving Asian Kids
2nd September 2020
A group of parents filed a lawsuit Tuesday alleging that the public school system in Montgomery County, Maryland, discriminates against Asian American students in the admission process for gifted and talented programs.
The group of mostly Asian American parents, organized as the Association for Education Fairness, are asking a federal court in Maryland to find that changes to the admissions process violate the Constitution’s equal protection clause and to prohibit continued enforcement of the changes.
