Senators Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) urged the Department of Justice on Tuesday to investigate the “alarming trend of apparent racial segregation in schools” across the country, pointing to recent college events that were advertised as being for members of certain racial groups.
While the letter spoke to a trend at universities across the country, the two GOP senators cited two recent incidents in particular, saying they appeared to be violations of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race in federally funded programs.
