The Santa Cruz County Office of Education and Pajaro Valley Unified School District are facing a federal civil rights complaint for hosting a racially-segregated teacher support program.
The complaint was filed Tuesday with the U.S. Department of Education by the parent activist group Parents Defending Education and accuses the two entities of violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when they began hosting an "Ethnic Studies Teacher of Color Circle."
