Fox News
An anti-affirmative action group filed a civil rights complaint against a New York state school district, accusing it of excluding White students for an event for "students of color."
The complaint, which has been obtained by Fox News Digital and can be seen here, accused ICSD of systematically excluding White students from SOCU Summits "with the knowledge and the participation of dozens of teachers and administrators, knowledge of the Board of Education, and despite multiple complaints about the racially discriminatory practices from members of the community" over a 4-year period from 2021-2024.

"The Frequently Asked Questions section of the official SOCU Summit website even included an explanation as to ‘Why aren’t White students invited?’ and required that registering students ‘acknowledge that this is a Student of Color ONLY event,’" the complaint said.
