The Department of Justice issued a legal opinion Thursday officially stating that federal education aid cannot be tied to race-based initiatives, such as increasing racial diversity or artificially altering racial balance.
The slip opinion, obtained by The Federalist, addresses specifically the Department of Education’s Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP), which the Department of Justice says “facially classifies by race and is motivated by the racially discriminatory purpose of changing the racial composition of K–12 schools.”
