A parental rights in education group filed a civil rights complaint Thursday to the Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (OCR) against a Missouri school district that allegedly hosted a race and sex based affinity group.
Parents Defending Education’s (PDE) complaint, obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation, names Webster Groves School District for allegedly engaging in racial and sex-based discrimination by hosting a group limited to students of color who are female, a violation of Title IX and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Webster Groves School District is allegedly hosting a “Renaissance Girls Group,” which is a space for “individuals of color who identify as a girl,” the complaint shows.
“This affinity group in Webster Groves is abhorrent and dehumanizing,” Caroline Moore, PDE vice president, told the DCNF. “To curate affinity groups that segregate students on both the basis of race and sex is despicable and unlike anything we’ve ever come across. It is unconscionable that administrators would purposefully compartmentalize their students as if they were putting away toys in a playroom.”
The “Renaissance Girls Group” serves as a “rebirth of self love” for students of color who “identify as a girl,” the complaint alleges. The group allegedly has a “greater emphasis to redefine sisterhood and create a supportive network at the high school.”

“Possible benefits for the Renaissance Girls affinity group include but are not limited to ‘sisterhood’ and ‘network[ing],'” the complaint alleges. “As for future ‘Renaissance Girls Group’ programming, that too would confer a benefit on the basis of race and sex that is not offered to all students.”
In 2022, the OCR fielded a record number of civil rights complaints, 18,804, over alleged sex, race and disability discrimination. One individual, who the OCR has not named for privacy reasons, filed 7,339 Title IX complaints, which addresses athletics and gender harassment, averaging 20 per day, to the office through 2022.
Across the nation school districts are implementing affinity groups that separate students on the basis of skin color, in an effort to foster diversity and give kids a space to discuss “race, empowerment and inclusivity.” Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin in federally funded institutions such as schools.
Webster Groves School District did not immediately respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids' days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they're not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today's "public" (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America's children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child's transgender "transition." In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to "catastrophic climate change." Another lie. But it's all classic Marxism/communism, with even the "3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with "woke," "1984"-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today's U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America's public school system." Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
