Lawsuit: LA Schools Biased Against White Students
21st January 2026
A long-standing Los Angeles school policy created decades ago under court-ordered desegregation is now under fire in federal court, with a conservative group alleging it discriminates against white students.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday by the 1776 Project Foundation, challenges a Los Angeles Unified School District policy dating to the 1970s that provides smaller classes and other advantages to schools deemed “racially isolated minority” campuses.
Those schools are defined as having student populations that are more than 70% nonwhite.
