The agreement reads that "Past discrimination by the District disproportionately impacted the hiring of underrepresented teachers in the District, as compared to the relevant labor market and the community, and resulted in a lack of diversity of teachers," reports Chalkboard Review.
Typically in education, teachers are protected based on seniority, not skin color. This, the Star Tribune reports, is the first "seniority disrupting language" of this kind in the United States. Hiring and firing based on race is not constitutional, per the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
