Report about which Minneapolis teachers would be laid off first marks ‘the inevitable end point of ‘equity’

Here’s a bit of news out of the progressive political utopia that is Minneapolis, and this is in regards to a new teachers union contract and who would be let go first in the event of layoffs:

Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) ~ The Minneapolis teachers union has negotiated a contract in which the district will fire white teachers first. This is the inevitable endpoint of "equity."

We say “you can’t make this stuff up” quite a bit, because you don’t need to make it up when people are doing these things in real life.

So it’s come to this?

A new contract between Minneapolis Public Schools and the local teachers union mandates that white teachers must be fired first when any kind of staff downsizing is initiated.

“Starting with the Spring 2023 Budget Tie-Out Cycle, if excessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the District shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population,” the agreement, which was originally obtained by Alpha News, says. Minority teachers “may be exempted from district-wide layoff[s] outside seniority order,” and will also be given priority during reinstatement.

In addition, teachers at 15 “racially isolated schools…with the greatest concentration of poverty” will also be protected from layoffs.

Katya Sedgwick (@KatyaSedgwick) ~ Are the teachers going to sue?

Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) ~ Yeah, one of the conservative legal advocacy groups is working on it.

Michelle Tandler (@michelletandler) ~ Isn't this unconstitutional?

Christopher F. Rufo (@realchrisrufo) ~ It's unconstitutional and illegal under the Civil Rights Act.

“Unconstitutional and illegal” never seems to prevent the Left from trying it anyway.

Tea Party Patriots (@TPPatriots) ~ Hiring/firing based on race ... isn't there a word for that? 🤔

It’s perfectly legal if the Left does it ... apparently. We’ll see if this insanity survives legal challenges.

Minneapolis teachers union will layoff white teachers before ‘educators of color’

White Minneapolis teachers will be laid off “or reassigned” before “educators of color” the Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) declared. In the event that layoffs need to occur, MPS created a contract that is designed “to remedy the continuing effects of past discrimination by the District” reports Alpha News.

“Past discrimination by the District disproportionately impacted the hiring of underrepresented teachers in the District, as compared to the relevant labor market and the community, and resulted in a lack of diversity of teachers,” the agreement states.

The Star Tribune reports that the “seniority-disrupting language” of the agreement is one of the first of its kind in the entire United States. Teachers are normally laid off or excessed based on seniority alone, but the new agreement adds a racial component as well.

James Dickey, senior trial counsel at the Upper Midwest Law Center (UMLC), says the racial component violates both the Minnesota and United States constitutions.

“The [collective bargaining agreement] … openly discriminates against white teachers based only on the color of their skin, and not their seniority or meri,” Dickey told Alpha News. “Minneapolis teachers and taxpayers who oppose government-sponsored racism like this should stand up against it.”

According to the Star Tribune, roughly 16% of MPS teachers with tenure and 27% of its probationary teachers are non-white, while more than 60% of students are non-white.

The agreement adds that non-white teachers, as well as those working in various programs, “may be exempted from district-wide layoff[s] outside seniority order.” The agreement also prioritizes the reinstatement of teachers from “underrepresented populations” over white teachers.
