Cornell law professor launches battle against racism spawned by the left’s ‘equity agenda’ -
Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson isn’t a fan of racial discrimination, even when it occurs in the name of promoting racial equity.aimed at investigating, exposing and litigating racial-preference programs that have proliferated nationwide as equity advocates seek to ensure equality of outcome, not just opportunity.
The project has already filed a federal complaint against the Providence Public Schools in Rhode Island over its “Educator of Color Loan Forgiveness Program,”“So they are openly discriminating against new White teachers with this program. And nobody seems to blink an eye at it,” said Mr. Jacobson. The program is funded by a grant from the Rhode Island Foundation. Applicants must identify as Asian, Black, Indigenous, Latino, biracial, or multi-racial, according to the district.
“We are pursuing it, but nobody is challenging this,” Mr. Jacobson said. “The governor is no place to be found. The attorney general is no place to be found. This is a government program to discriminate and unfortunately, that’s what has happened to the equity agenda. And we’re getting reports from around the country of these sorts of problems.”
