The Los Angeles policy that provides benefits such as smaller classes to schools with mostly non-white students discriminates against white pupils, according to a new lawsuit.

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) “engages in—and publicly touts—a program of overt discrimination against a new minority: White students,” the lawsuit, filed in federal court in California by the 1776 Project Foundation on Jan. 20, says.
