Minneapolis teachers' union negotiates clause requiring WHITE educators to be laid off first regardless of seniority to make up for 'past discriminations': Rule is part of contract that ended two-week strike this past March
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - The stipulation is part of a new agreement starting in spring 2023 between the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers and Minneapolis Public Schools
- Part of the agreement was an attempt to re-format how the school district hires and keeps teachers of color
- The new contract says that they may go outside the order to avoid layoffs to a teacher who is 'a member of a population underrepresented'
- This prioritizing may apply to bring back teachers who were laid off should re-hires occur
