A federal investigation has been launched into school district in Massachusetts after officials there announced auditions for a play – but only allowed "persons of color" to participate.
It is the Department of Education that launched the review into the potential violation of the Civil Rights Act, and Constitution.
Fox News reports the federal agency's Office for Civil Rights got a complaint from Parents Defending Education about a student theater production that limited participation to "students of color."
It was Newton North High School and its production in January of "Lost and Found: Our Stories as People of Color." The show's audition packet confirmed it would be "a reserved safe space for this exploration and for people of color to be vulnerable and support one another," Fox reported.
The student director, in a video on Theater Ink's website, announced that, "All BIPOC [Black, indigenous and people of color] students at North are invited to audition."

But restricting participation based on race is a violation of both Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the parents group charged.
Nicole Neily, a founder of PDE, told Fox News Digital, "Administrators at Newton North High School failed their student body by allowing a racially-segregated production to move forward – and missed the opportunity to impart the lesson that racial discrimination is always wrong."
EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
