(FOX NEWS) – A civil rights complaint was filed against the Providence Public School District with the U.S. Department of Education on Monday over a program offering student loan forgiveness to new teachers that is exclusively available to non-White educators.
The complaint claims that Providence Public School District is "engaged in a continuing violation and an ongoing pattern or practice of discrimination" with a student loan forgiveness program for newly and recently hired educators that is only available to non-White applicants, billed as the "Educator of Color Loan Forgiveness Program."
