Lawsuit against NY Education Department to move forward after parents say children were discriminated against
Fox News
A judge ruled that a federal discrimination suit against the New York State Education Department can move forward after parents said that their children were discriminated against.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Cornell law professor and founder of the Equal Protection Project, William Jacobson, said that his hope is that students who were allegedly discriminated against can be vindicated. Sarah Rumpf-Whitten is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"The State of NY tried to get the case dismissed, asserting that the asian parents did not have legal 'standing' to challenge the discrimination. We are very pleased that the court has rejected that challenge and has permitted the case to move forward," he said. "We look forward to fully vindicating the rights of all students to apply for the STEP program free from discrimination based on race or ethnicity."
