Minneapolis Public Schools Facing Discrimination Complaint
23rd October 2025
A civil rights complaint has been filed against Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) after reports that several high schools offered courses restricted by race and sex.
Minnesota outlet Alpha News reported that the complaint concerns courses titled “BLACK Culture – Building Lives Acquiring Cultural Knowledge.” The Washington Free Beacon first noted that South High School’s curriculum guide listed one section of the class as open to “all black male students” and another to “all black female students.”
“The course is open to black male students of any grade,” one course description reads. Roosevelt High School reportedly offers a similar course titled “High School Black Culture Queens.”
As Chief Justice Roberts famously said (in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1), “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race” .
