In March, following the Atlanta spa shootings that left six Asian women dead, Wellesley Public Schools held a virtual event for Asian and Asian American students, as well as all students of color, to process events, noting it was not the space for white students. Now, the district is facing heat after a newly-formed conservative education group filed a federal civil rights complaint alleging racial discrimination.
Washington, D.C.-based Parents Defending Education submitted the complaint to the Department of Education on May 12 and attached a teacher email and district statement as evidence.
What happened in Wellesley
The virtual event was hosted on March 18 by Wellesley Public Schools’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. It was billed as a “Healing Space for Asian and Asian American students (grades 6-12), faculty/staff, and others in the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) community who wish to process recent events.”
