A California history teacher, Isaac Newman, has filed a lawsuit against the Elk Grove Education Association, a local affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA), alleging racial discrimination. Newman claims he was blocked from a leadership position on the union's executive board because he is White. The position in question reportedly required candidates to verify their ethnicity, and Whites were not allowed to apply. The lawsuit highlights ongoing concerns about racial discrimination and inclusivity within educational institutions.
