The U.S. Department of Education has launched an investigation into a civil rights complaint filed against Baltimore City Public Schools, where Jewish students have allegedly been subjected to “persistent discrimination and harassment.”
The Department’s Office for Civil Rights said on Thursday it is looking into whether the district, which serves more than 76,000 students across 177 schools, is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the federal law prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in educational settings.
