EEOC COMPLAINT: Middletown City School District

EEOC Complaints


Parents Defending Education (PDE) has sent a letter to the Director of the Indianapolis District Office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requesting an investigation into Middletown City School District in Middletown, Ohio for employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. §2000e et seq.

PDE makes this investigation request as an interested third-party organization with members who are parents of school children throughout the country. PDE and its members oppose racial discrimination and political indoctrination in America’s schools. Middletown City School District is offering educational and affinity group programming for Black male employees that are not offered to all employees in the District. Attached to this complaint is evidence in the form of an X (formerly Twitter) profile page managed by Middletown City Public Schools, which shows the District’s commitment to “the Admiral squad” (Exhibit A), a Facebook group page managed by Middletown City Public Schools, which promotes “admiral squad” affinity group (Exhibit B), a District webpage titled “The Admiral Squad,” which explains the purpose and intention of the educator affinity group (Exhibit C), and a District documents titled “Showcasing how Districts and Communities are Transforming Education” (Exhibit D), which specifically mentions increasing Black male teachers by 50% over five years and outlines the District’s fellowship program that is only accessible to Black males.

Middletown City School District likewise cannot discriminate against its employees based on their race. We ask that your office promptly investigate the allegations in this complaint, act swiftly to remedy unlawful policies and practices, and order appropriate relief.
