NAACP, LDF Sues to Challenge U.S. Department of Education’s “Dear Colleague” Letter and Certification Requirement
Today, the Legal Defense Fund (LDF) filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of the NAACP, challenging the U.S. Department of Education's attempts to prohibit and chill lawful efforts to ensure that Black students are afforded equal educational opportunities. The Education Department issued a "Dear Colleague" Letter on Feb. 14, followed by a "Frequently Asked Questions" document on Feb. 28 and a certification requirement on April 3 — all of which include factual inaccuracies and misinterpretations of civil rights laws and threaten the termination of critical public education funds. The defendants named in the suit are the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon and Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor.
