The Elmbrook School District said the quiet part very loudly.
Loud enough to attract the attention of a very respectable (and winning!!) lawfirm.
...Attorneys at the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) issued a letter to Elmbrook Schools Superintendent, Dr. Mark Hansen, warning the district that federal and state nondiscrimination law applies to all people and all students. WILL’s letter comes in response to the written report from the Elmbrook Assistant Superintendent that erroneously stated that a white student “is not a member of any class that is legally protected from discrimination by state or federal law.”...
In a written report investigating the complaint, Elmbrook Schools Assistant Superintendent, Tanya Fredrich, wrote (emphasis added):
“Although there is no evidence that the student’s race (White), sexual orientation (Heterosexual) and socio-economic status (middle-upper middleclass) were a consideration in any decision made by the District regarding the student, it must also be noted that the student is not a member of any class that is legally protected from discrimination by state or federal law. To the contrary, the student’s race, sexual orientation and socio-economic status are what are considered to be the majority status and thus do not form a basis for claiming that the student is being treated or has been treated less favorably than persons not in the protected class.”...
We don't think that Ms. Fredrich said that with malice.
We think that Ms. Fredrich said what is "common knowledge" among the Educated Classes.
THAT is the problem.
