Mass school faces investigation for 'racial segregation' after barring whites from play

A January theatre production out of Newton North High School has landed the school district under federal investigation by the Department of Education after the company barred white students from auditioning.
The Massachusetts school's Theater Ink program put on a show titled 'Lost and Found: Our Stories as People of Color,' which according to the show's audition packet acted as 'a reserved safe space for this exploration and for people of color to be vulnerable and support one another.'
At the time of auditions last fall, the student director posted a video to the company's website declaring that 'All BIPOC [Black, indigenous and people of color] students at North are invited to audition.'
It was at that point that the grassroots national movement Parents Defending Education got involved and filed a complaint with the federal government that the school districted discriminated against students on the basis of race.

I am fine with it as long as we pass laws making it illegal for black people to play Vikings.

They should have let White kids audition, and then play the roles in blackface.

Does not surprise me.
Deep blue area full of wealthy suburbanites full of white guilt.
BTW the HS is about 3% black...same as the town.

I've never wanted to be vulnerable. Is that something peculiar to whites?

I believe blacks deserve their own schools. They deserve an education without the interference of the white patriarchy. Can we please see the progressive light as a society and allow blacks an opportunity to only go to school with other blacks?

That would be discriminatory though, whereas this is different.
