Race

A federal judge said four plaintiffs, including a Nassau County child, lacked legal standing to sue.

A federal judge is expected to decide this week whether to block a new state law that would restrict the way certain race-related concepts can be taught in public schools and in workplace training.

Under the bill, various race-related concepts would constitute discrimination if taught in classrooms or while training employees.

Under the measure, school instruction or workplace training would constitute discrimination if it “compels” people to believe certain concepts.

Two white Yulee High School students who made a video using racial slurs went unpunished because they weren't yet students, according to the Nassau County School District. That explanation does not satisfy some parents, and the controversy itself has spotlighted a racial divide that civic activists hope to heal.
