https://dailycaller.com/2026/04/20/exclusive-california-school-sent-kids-on-segregated-field-trip-for-social-justice/A California school district recently organized a field trip that excluded white students and maintains several other race-based policies, documents reveal.Albany Unified School District (AUSD) hosted the trip to Virginia for “young men and women of color” to visit Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and discuss issues such as “social justice,” according to documents obtained by parental rights group Defending Education (DE) and shared exclusively with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The trip was approved by the board of education and cost the district $42,845.“This unique mentoring program encourages Albany High School young men and women of color to develop social, personal, and academic success skills,” the document from the board reads. “Students gather in a safe, supportive, and empowering environment to voice their needs and challenges. The students engage in enriching discussions on social justice, education, leadership, mental well-being, and self-awareness. This mentoring program is transforming the lives of young men and women of color to make a significant global impact in society.”
Along with college tours, students visited the Virginia Museum of History and Culture, the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial and the Black Heritage Trail.A sign reading Hire More Black Teachers is displayed in front of an elementary school in Washington, DC, on February 19, 2022A sign reading Hire More Black Teachers is displayed in front of an elementary school in Washington, DC, on February 19, 2022.

Another document from 2026 includes a goal of “Recruit[ing] and Retain[ing] a Diverse, High Quality Staff,” DE found. The Superintendent Report detailed plans to “strengthen inclusive hiring,” expand “equitable recruitment pipelines,” and implement “affinity-based supports.” The report mentioned a “Black Teacher Project” to help in these race-based hiring and retention efforts and suggested the district would track staff demographics as an indicator of success.AUSD did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.The district’s website also details a response plan for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity on campus, which instructs staff “NOT to provide any information.”“Albany Unified School District serves a diverse and vibrant community of students and families, many of whom have deep ties to immigrant experiences,” the website reads. ” While we cannot control federal actions, Albany Unified is steadfast in its commitment to being a safe haven for all students.”The district plainly states its goal of “Recruiting and retaining excellent, diverse teachers” on its website.“Students and teachers are best served when opportunities are based on merit and individual need, not immutable characteristics like race and ethnicity,” Paul Runko, senior director of strategic initiatives at DE, told the DCNF. “Schools should focus their limited time and resources on challenging high-achieving students, supporting those who are struggling, and ensuring all students receive a high-quality education, rather than organizing programs and initiatives around racial categories. Great, hard-working teachers should be supported, mentored, and retained for their effectiveness in the classroom, not based on race or any other characteristic.”

>>1507590I don’t get it, what’s the outrage about this?
>>1507594>>1507600Shill is getting angry at having to defend the Iran War and is trying to force various racially baited stories to de-stressThe story is completely fake though. Daily Caller is basically conservishill fanfiction
>>1507600It's not outrage, just amusing.Dems pretend to be egalitarians but then enforce segregation because each racial demographic produces disparate outcomes all across society. They literally have to treat different groups of people differently to make them 'equal'.
>>1507600I don't really think public schools should be openly spending the publics money on racially motivated activities is all. I seem to recall from my days in a completely desegregated school that they taught us some history about why that school was desegregated. California's backsliding over there.
>>1507605>They literally have to treat different groups of people differently to make them 'equal'.Hey anon do you know what the phrase equity means?
>>1507609"Separate but equal" didn't fly when the segregationists tried to use that as their justification in the 60s. There were some pretty clear legal rebukes to it too.
>>1507611>You aren't allowed to ever give anything to the underprivileged kids specifically
>>1507590How is the pic wrong?
>>1507612>segregation is okay if we call the only group to receive special privileges underprivileged
>>1507590>>1507591>>1507592Hey so you know what I'm missing here? Actual proof they didn't let the white kids go.
>>1507614You wanna give them a special white kids support group now? Stop getting pissed every time someone tries to help out minorities specifically to make up for years of systemic issues.
>>1507616Considering the poor white kids get less support than middle class black kids entirely on the basis of their race? Yeah.
>>1507617>poor white kids get less support than middle class black kidslmao you really thought this was an intelligent sentence didn't you?>Hmm, how interesting, the kids with some money have more support than the kids with no money>Obviously this must mean it is the blacks who are privileged now
>>1507605>>1507606At my elementary school we had religion classes every Wednesday afternoon and all the kids were segregated into their various church groups and different religions. I don’t really see how this is different, like if our Catholic group went on a field trip to the cathedral I don’t see how that would be offensive to our Jehovah’s Witnesses or whatever.
Hilarious how leftists will complain about institutionalized racism and how the system is totally oppressive and unfair towards their pet nonwhites, yet in reality the ONLY demographic that doesn't receive race based, government backed, government funded support, is white males.
>>1507620poor persecuted white kid
>>1507600>>1507604>why is racial segregation a bad thing?t. average leftist>>1507612>every White kid is better off than every colored kidsource?>>1507613you're in a thread about liberals seeking to unite because they think diversity is bad. They also favor the waelthy (who want mass immigration), promote aggression instead of peaceful debate, promote ignorance instead of debate>>1507616>stop getting pissed every time someone justifies being racist by saying that their racism is against a race that deserves itno
>>1507619what if the Christian group went on a trip where they learned that Christians are good and Muslims are bad? And this trip cost over $40,000? And the Muslims weren't allowed to have their own trip?>>1507621>mocking people who are against racismokay Nazi>>1507618the kids with some money have more support than the kids with no money>Obviously this must mean we should give more support to rich Black kids than poor White kidslmao you really thought this was an intelligent sentence didn't you?
>>1507620>white malesThe cause of pretty much all crime?
>>1507623>what if the Christian group went on a trip where they learned that Christians are good and Muslims are bad?you got any evidence that's what happened or...?
>>1507621>poor persecuted white kidYou just made that shills day telling them they're white>>1507625the only actual crime against white people in this thread is OP
>>1507623>the kids with some money have more support than the kids with no money>>Obviously this must mean we should give more support to rich Black kids than poor White kids>lmao you really thought this was an intelligent sentence didn't you?Your proof of this claim comes from right out your ass lmao.
>>1507619What if the Catholic group went on a field trip and the Witnesses never did?
>>1507619>I don’t really see how this is differentThe Civil Rights Act explicitly bans any form of segregation based on disability or race in institutions which receive federal funding.I don't care if dems want to keep blacks separate from blacks, but they can't keep crying that they're doing it to combat racism or whatever. Black people will continue to be black people no matter how many handouts they're given.
>>1507629>what if the annoying kids went to some boring place and left you alone all dayheaven>>1507630wheres the segregation?
>>1507622>>1507623t. samefag
>>1507609>Hey anon do you know what the phrase equity means?NTA, go fuck yourself. There's no such thing as different and equal. Giving preferential treatment to different groups doesn't improve cohesion, it improves resentment. Here's a practical example: the different PT standards for women in the military.
>>1507634Your thread sucks and you suck
>>1507590the only thing that holds the democrat party together is their blatant anti white and anti asian racism therefore being a democrats means being a racist
>>1507625nta but I was in the Episcopalian group and the ladies that the church sent out to teach us the bible used to slip in the odd bit of how the Catholics were wrong and encouraged us not to learn anything about Islam
>>1507632t. newfag
>>1507663>the only thing that holds the democrat party together is their blatant anti white and anti asian racismnot true, they are also held together by their blatant anti-male sexism.>>1507636it's not his thread, it's my thread. Don't give somebody else credit for my thread (which is a great thread)
>>1507595Are you trying to make the Contitution sound like a worthless document?
maga chuds sure are desperate if this is the kind of thread they're being forced to shill
>>1507709t. fag
>>1507736no. The Constitution is a great document, no matter how much Democrats want to ignore it.>>1507737racist democrats sure are desperate if their only argument is "please don't talk about how racist we are"
>>1507736Republicunts don't really care about the constitution.Thats why they rioted and beat a police officer to death when people pointed out they were retarded losers
>>1507746Never happened.
>>1507749>i don't care that we beat a police officer to deathits why you're losing the midterms
>>1507750You can keep posting this lie in each thread. The head medical investigator of D.C. still says you're wrong.
>>1507754>crowd beats a man into a coma>he dies the next dayWe all saw MAGA's kill that copno one cares about your glowie propaganda
>>1507755>>crowd beats a man into a coma>also didn't happen>still pushing this other lie
>if i pretend hard enough, its like MAGA didn't murder a capital police officerMeanwhile, leftists don't have to pretend because they've never killed anyone
>>1507765https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killings_of_Aaron_Danielson_and_Michael_Reinoehl
>>1507765>Meanwhile, leftists don't have to pretend because they've never killed anyonethatsbait.jpg
>>1507777>>1507781Its true, you don't have any examplesAll MAGA can do is pretend that all the killers they spawn are secretly not MAGA
>>1507792Why would the people who shot Donald Trump be MAGA?That doesn't make any sense
>>1507818>MAGA doesn't have any actual beliefs or valueslmao
>>1507590Meanwhile the white kids goes on a field trip to learn how white men are the devil.
>>1507590Trying to shame those without shame probably won't work
>>1507943They literally teach elementary children that White people sell their souls to the devil:https://www.foxnews.com/us/school-districts-whiteness-contract-bookAnd then when Republicans say that the government should not be indoctrinating children with such hateful bigotry, Democrats get upset and call Republicans racist and falsely accuse them of """banning""" books.
