Podcasts about minority teachers

Mike Ferguson in the Morning 10-28-24 Samantha Romero, attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation, talks about their lawsuit challenging race discrimination by the Minority Teachers of Illinois Scholarship Program.  (Springfield, IL) On Tuesday, October 22, 2024, Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of the American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAER) challenging the race-based criteria used by the Illinois Student Assistance Corporation when awarding state-funded scholarships to future Illinois teachers. The Minority Teachers of Illinois Scholarship Program (MTI) awards scholarships of up to $7,500 per year for tuition, fees, commuter allowances, and room and board for up to four academic years of full-time college enrollment. With Illinois facing a severe teacher shortage, the MTI Scholarship Program is designed to encourage qualified Illinoisans to join the teacher ranks. Eligibility requirements are extensive. Students must meet residency, academic, and financial standards. In addition, eligibility for this scholarship is restricted to students who are from the state's preferred racial groups. “Illinois can offer assistance to young, aspiring teachers, but not when they exclude a significant number of applicants based on their skin color,” said PLF attorney Erin Wilcox. “The exclusion of non-minority applicants not only misses the mark on providing an equal opportunity for all future teachers, it violates the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.” Represented at no charge by Pacific Legal Foundation, AAER is fighting back with a federal equal protection challenge to restore equal treatment and educational opportunity for all students, regardless of race.  The case is AAER v. Pritzker and filed in the Central District of Illinois.

In 2016, 82% of all public school teachers were white, while 49% of all public school students were non-white. According to the US Department of Education, in 2024 it is anticipated that 56% of all public school students will be minorities. In this week's episode of Parents Engaging Parents, Altorice and his guests will discuss the causes of the racial disparity between educator and students and whether or not this disparity affects student outcomes.
