MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - A public high school in Minneapolis is at the center of a storm after revelations that it runs classes listed as open only to black students — a move critics say brings racial segregation back into American education.
The Daily Mail can exclusively reveal that South High School, which serves more than 1,200 students, offers two courses on 'black culture' that are described as being for black students only.
The explosive detail was uncovered in a 66-page course guide, obtained through a public records request by the conservative watchdog group Defending Education.
The document, used to help families choose classes, appears to fly in the face of both federal law and America's decades-long fight for racial equality.
Critics call it shocking and illegal.
'It is appalling that in 2025, school districts think it is socially and legally acceptable to allegedly offer classes only to students based on immutable characteristics,' said Rhyen Staley, director of research at Defending Education.
'This practice only seeds distrust and resentment and must stop wherever it is happening.'
The courses, one for boys and one for girls, are part of a program run by the district's Office of Black Student Achievement.
