A parental rights organization has filed a civil rights complaint against a Minnesota high school because the school has a student council exclusively for “Indigenous” students. The complaint against the Minneapolis-area school‚ filed by Parents Defending Education with the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights‚ alleges that Burnsville High School is violating federal civil rights laws through a student council that is only open to American Indian/Alaska Native students. “PDE makes this complaint as an interested third-party organization with members who are parents of school children throughout the country. PDE and its members oppose discrimination on the basis of race‚ national origin‚ and political indoctrination in America’s schools. Burnsville High School is offering programming to affinity groups that is not open to all students‚” a copy of the complaint obtained by The Daily Wire says. The club is listed on the school’s website alongside other clubs like the Black Student Union‚ the Muslim Student Association‚ and the Gender Sexuality Alliance. “Unlike the other six affinity groups identified in the exhibits‚ the Indigenous Student Council (ISC) is the only group that explicitly states it is not open to the entire student body‚” the complaint says. “Accordingly‚ we ask that the Department promptly investigate the allegations in this complaint‚ act swiftly to remedy unlawful policies and practices‚ and order appropriate relief.” The complaint claims that the club violates the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act‚ which says federal funding cannot go toward racially discriminatory programming. The Daily Wire reached out to the high school for further clarification on the nature of the council and response to the complaint.

If students cannot coexist in something as simple serving as leaders for their graduation class‚ where does this madness end?” “If Minneapolis and its suburbs are any indication of where race relations in this country are going‚ I want no part of it. This is unabashedly unconstitutional and the DOE should conduct a thorough investigation of racial discrimination in this district immediately‚” she added. Schools across the country have faced backlash from parents who want teachers to focus on academic achievement as opposed to focusing on racial and sexual identity.

On Tuesday‚ the Republicans voted in an incredibly narrow vote to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas. It was very narrow because a few Republicans defected and Republicans have a shrinking House majority. What exactly does the impeachment mean? In practical terms‚ it means nothing. There is no shot he is going to be convicted in the Senate. It was an optical impeachment in the same way it was an optical impeachment both times Donald Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives. However‚ that does not mean it was worthless. Rather‚ it was worthwhile for a couple of reasons. First‚ it is imperative the Republicans in the House continue to highlight Joe Biden’s administration’s refusal to enforce America’s southern border. As a pure policy matter‚ this administration has kept the southern border wide open. They have completely restructured American immigration law so as to facilitate the mass migration of people up through America’s southern border. Six to 10 million people have entered the country illegally since Biden took office — people who are claiming asylum‚ waving their arms‚ getting picked up by Border Patrol‚ and then being released on parole into the country‚ never to show up again. That is a deliberate policy decision made by this administration‚ effectuated by the Secretary of Homeland Security‚ who works for Biden. There are two salient questions about the impeachment. The first: Is the border policy horrific‚ and should it be highlighted? Yes‚ it’s horrific. Yes‚ it should be highlighted. The second question addresses whether that merits impeachment. On the merits of impeachment‚ this depends on what you think impeachment is for. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show For nearly all of American history‚ people thought that impeachment was actually for high crimes and misdemeanors‚ which is why it was barely ever used. It was used in cases of bribery a couple of times. It was threatened against Richard Nixon before he resigned. But the reality is that the impeachment cap was never taken out of the bag unless there were actually high crimes and misdemeanors to allege. And then Democrats alleged no crime by Trump twice and yet impeached him twice. I said in both of those cases that impeachment was not merited because even if I wildly disagreed with Trump’s actions between the election in November of 2020 and January 6‚ 2021‚ there was no actual crime that took place. Bad behavior is not impeachable; crime is impeachable. When it came to his conversations with Volodymyr Zelenskyy‚ the suggestion was that Trump had a conversation with Zelenskyy back in 2019 in which he basically threatened the suspension of American aid to Ukraine in the lead-up to the war in Ukraine‚ specifically because he wanted the Ukrainian government to investigate Hunter Biden and Burisma. And the suggestion was made that Trump was essentially militarizing American military aid in order to pursue a political goal on his own behalf‚ and thus was an impeachable offense. But there was no actual crime alleged in the impeachment documents. It was all simply bad behavior. So‚ I said both times‚ even if you don’t like Trump’s behavior‚ that’s not impeachable. So why impeach Alejandro Mayorkas without actual high crimes and misdemeanors? The reason is that if these are the new rules‚ they apply to everyone evenly. We should all recognize that if we want to go back to the original status quo — if we want to put the cat back in the bag — then we cannot have a situation in which Democrats get to impeach Republican officials for actions that are not high crimes and misdemeanors‚ while Republicans only impeach for high crimes and misdemeanors. So the impeachment serves two purposes. One is obviously political and I think has a well-merited purpose‚ which is to target this administration on their border policy. And the second is to reestablish a mutually assured destruction with regard to impeachment so that if both parties wish to restore what impeachment was for before‚ which is just high crimes and misdemeanors‚ we can return to that. Otherwise‚ everyone can basically assume that if an opposing party takes control of Congress‚ a party that is not the same party running the presidency‚ somebody in the White House is going to get impeached. That’s just the way this is going to work. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP
