> Also, I'm not sure why you think focusing on "historically underrepresented" groups would be illegal lol. Because by "underrepresented groups" they mean race and sex. You'll see far more children of African immigrants than people who graduated from inner city school districts.

    your quote does not prove that African immigrant children are getting more than inner city Blacks, nor does it violate the Civil Rights act. "Students with disabilities" can be of any race, thus, the program could hypothetically include any person of any background, and so there's no issue. Not to mention that their list was not exhaustive. There are other groups that are unrepresented other than the ones they mentioned.

  Responding to your last comment, which I can't reply to yet. I was proving my first claim about what they mean by "underrepresented groups." They literally said that they'll give priority to underrepresented minorities or sexes. That is a clear case of discrimination, which is outlawed by the Civil Rights Act.

    No, they said they'd give underrepresented groups priority, which include minorities. Favoring "underrepresented groups" does not inherently discriminate against any particular race or sex, thus there is no issue. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. You should consult a lawyer, you might have a huge suit on your hands.
