Evidence¶

Robinson 2021¶

Robinson, K. J. (2021). Protecting education as a civil right: Remedying racial discrimination and ensuring a high-quality education. Learning Policy Institute. https://doi.org/10.54300/407.455

q2 · i? · review · r2

Legal-doctrinal analysis in the report's federal law section. The report states Title VI is limited because private plaintiffs must show "intentional discrimination," private individuals cannot enforce the disparate impact regulation, and OCR is "underfunded."

"Despite its significant historical impact, today Title VI is limited in its ability to ensure nondiscrimination in public schools for three reasons. First, the U.S. Supreme Court interpreted the core nondiscrimination protection to prohibit only intentional discrimination for private plaintiffs"
