Black Parent Exposes Who Decided To Segregate Elementary Students By Race In The Classroom
Kila Posey, a black mother, was enraged when she learned that her child’s Atlanta public elementary school was racially separating classrooms.
When Posey demanded that her kid be transferred to a different classroom, according to WSB-TV Atlanta, she discovered that the school’s principal was separating classrooms based on race. Because the requested classroom wasn’t a “black class,” the principal, Sharyn Briscoe, informed Posey that her kid would be “isolated” in it.
“[The principal] said, ‘that’s not one of the black classes.’ And I immediately said, ‘what does that mean?’ I was confused,” Posey told the local news outlet. “I asked for more clarification. I was like, ‘we have those in this school?’ And she proceeded to say that yes, ‘I have decided that I’m going to place all of the black students in two classes.”
According to Posey, the elementary school designated eight classrooms, two for black students and six for white students.
“We’ve lost sleep trying to figure out, like, why would a person do this? First, it was just disbelief that I was having this conversation in 2020 with a person that looks just like me, a black woman,” Posey said. “It’s segregating classrooms. You cannot segregate classrooms. You can’t do it.”

Posey has already filed a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education. Her lawsuit claims that the school broke Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which states that, “no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Given that the complaint was sent to President Joe Biden’s Department of Education, the outcome of the discrimination complaint is unknown.
Biden’s candidate to head the Office of Civil Rights, Catherine Lhamon, has testified before the Senate education committee. During her hearing, Lhamon declined to say if it would be “a violation of Title VI to ascribe character traits, values, moral and ethical codes, privileges, status or beliefs to a race or to an individual solely because of his or her race.”
Similarly, the Biden Education Department has reversed a Trump-era decision that determined racial “affinity groups” to be a type of segregation. Racial “affinity groups” separate students and staff by race in the hopes of providing a “safe space” for black people to discuss their experiences with racism while also providing a separate space for white people to learn about their “white privilege,” that could be used to rationalize racially segregated classes.
Racial affinity clubs at public schools are legal and do not violate Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, according to current Education Department guidelines.
