Lawsuit challenges LAUSD equity programs as reverse discrimination against white students

A federal lawsuit filed by the 1776 Project Foundation claims Los Angeles Unified’s resource allocations—prioritizing schools with high nonwhite enrollments and magnet programs—discriminate against white students. LAUSD says the policies aim to ensure equitable access to opportunities, while critics say the suit seeks to undermine desegregation-era remedies; the case centers on magnet enrollment and how funding and classroom sizes are allocated across campuses.
