Along with college tours, students visited the Virginia Museum of History and Culture, the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial and the Black Heritage Trail.

The district maintains several other programs geared specifically toward non-white students and staff, documents show. (RELATED: Major City Schools Made It Impossible To Fail Then Took Victory Lap When No One Failed)

AUSD’s 2025-2026 Local Control and Accountability Plan names “Young Men of Color and Young Women of Color Programs” that aim to “provide social emotional supports to most underserved students.” The programs are part of a $1,257,234 “social emotional/mental health” support effort.

The same plan details the district’s intention to provide staff with “professional development” programs centered on “culturally responsive/anti-racist pedagogy.” These teaching practices are necessary to support “student groups who are persistently and historically underserved,” the document states.

Another document from 2026 includes a goal of “Recruit[ing] and Retain[ing] a Diverse, High Quality Staff,” DE found. The Superintendent Report detailed plans to “strengthen inclusive hiring,” expand “equitable recruitment pipelines,” and implement “affinity-based supports.” The report mentioned a “Black Teacher Project” to help in these race-based hiring and retention efforts and suggested the district would track staff demographics as an indicator of success.

AUSD did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

The district’s website also details a response plan for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity on campus, which instructs staff “NOT to provide any information.”

“Albany Unified School District serves a diverse and vibrant community of students and families, many of whom have deep ties to immigrant experiences,” the website reads. ” While we cannot control federal actions, Albany Unified is steadfast in its commitment to being a safe haven for all students.”

The district plainly states its goal of “Recruiting and retaining excellent, diverse teachers” on its website.

“Students and teachers are best served when opportunities are based on merit and individual need, not immutable characteristics like race and ethnicity,” Paul Runko, senior director of strategic initiatives at DE, told the DCNF. “Schools should focus their limited time and resources on challenging high-achieving students, supporting those who are struggling, and ensuring all students receive a high-quality education, rather than organizing programs and initiatives around racial categories. Great, hard-working teachers should be supported, mentored, and retained for their effectiveness in the classroom, not based on race or any other characteristic.”

I don’t get it, what’s the outrage about this?

>>1507594
>>1507600
Shill is getting angry at having to defend the Iran War and is trying to force various racially baited stories to de-stress

The story is completely fake though. Daily Caller is basically conservishill fanfiction

>>1507600
It's not outrage, just amusing.
Dems pretend to be egalitarians but then enforce segregation because each racial demographic produces disparate outcomes all across society. They literally have to treat different groups of people differently to make them 'equal'.

>>1507600
I don't really think public schools should be openly spending the publics money on racially motivated activities is all. I seem to recall from my days in a completely desegregated school that they taught us some history about why that school was desegregated. California's backsliding over there.

>>1507605
>They literally have to treat different groups of people differently to make them 'equal'.
Hey anon do you know what the phrase equity means?

>>1507609
"Separate but equal" didn't fly when the segregationists tried to use that as their justification in the 60s. There were some pretty clear legal rebukes to it too.

>>1507611
>You aren't allowed to ever give anything to the underprivileged kids specifically

>>1507590
How is the pic wrong?

>>1507612
>segregation is okay if we call the only group to receive special privileges underprivileged

>>1507590
>>1507591
>>1507592
Hey so you know what I'm missing here? Actual proof they didn't let the white kids go.

>>1507614
You wanna give them a special white kids support group now? Stop getting pissed every time someone tries to help out minorities specifically to make up for years of systemic issues.

>>1507616
Considering the poor white kids get less support than middle class black kids entirely on the basis of their race? Yeah.

>>1507617
>poor white kids get less support than middle class black kids
lmao you really thought this was an intelligent sentence didn't you?
>Hmm, how interesting, the kids with some money have more support than the kids with no money
>Obviously this must mean it is the blacks who are privileged now

>>1507605
>>1507606
At my elementary school we had religion classes every Wednesday afternoon and all the kids were segregated into their various church groups and different religions. I don’t really see how this is different, like if our Catholic group went on a field trip to the cathedral I don’t see how that would be offensive to our Jehovah’s Witnesses or whatever.

Hilarious how leftists will complain about institutionalized racism and how the system is totally oppressive and unfair towards their pet nonwhites, yet in reality the ONLY demographic that doesn't receive race based, government backed, government funded support, is white males.

source?
>>1507613
you're in a thread about liberals seeking to unite because they think diversity is bad. They also favor the waelthy (who want mass immigration), promote aggression instead of peaceful debate, promote ignorance instead of debate
>>1507616
>stop getting pissed every time someone justifies being racist by saying that their racism is against a race that deserves it
no

>>1507619
what if the Christian group went on a trip where they learned that Christians are good and Muslims are bad? And this trip cost over $40,000? And the Muslims weren't allowed to have their own trip?
>>1507621
>mocking people who are against racism
okay Nazi
>>1507618
the kids with some money have more support than the kids with no money
>Obviously this must mean we should give more support to rich Black kids than poor White kids
lmao you really thought this was an intelligent sentence didn't you?

>>1507620
>white males
The cause of pretty much all crime?

>>1507623
>what if the Christian group went on a trip where they learned that Christians are good and Muslims are bad?
you got any evidence that's what happened or...?

>>1507621

You just made that shills day telling them they're white

the only actual crime against white people in this thread is OP

>lmao you really thought this was an intelligent sentence didn't you?
Your proof of this claim comes from right out your ass lmao.

>>1507619
What if the Catholic group went on a field trip and the Witnesses never did?

>>1507619
>I don’t really see how this is different
The Civil Rights Act explicitly bans any form of segregation based on disability or race in institutions which receive federal funding.
I don't care if dems want to keep blacks separate from blacks, but they can't keep crying that they're doing it to combat racism or whatever. Black people will continue to be black people no matter how many handouts they're given.

>>1507629

NTA, go fuck yourself. There's no such thing as different and equal. Giving preferential treatment to different groups doesn't improve cohesion, it improves resentment. Here's a practical example: the different PT standards for women in the military.

>>1507634
Your thread sucks and you suck

>>1507590
the only thing that holds the democrat party together is their blatant anti white and anti asian racism therefore being a democrats means being a racist

>>1507625
nta but I was in the Episcopalian group and the ladies that the church sent out to teach us the bible used to slip in the odd bit of how the Catholics were wrong and encouraged us not to learn anything about Islam

not true, they are also held together by their blatant anti-male sexism.

Are you trying to make the Contitution sound like a worthless document?

maga chuds sure are desperate if this is the kind of thread they're being forced to shill

>>1507709

>>1507736
no. The Constitution is a great document, no matter how much Democrats want to ignore it.
>>1507737
racist democrats sure are desperate if their only argument is "please don't talk about how racist we are"

>>1507736
Republicunts don't really care about the constitution.
Thats why they rioted and beat a police officer to death when people pointed out they were retarded losers

>>1507746
Never happened.

>>1507749
>i don't care that we beat a police officer to death
its why you're losing the midterms

That doesn't make any sense

lmao

Meanwhile the white kids goes on a field trip to learn how white men are the devil.

>>1507590
Trying to shame those without shame probably won't work

>>1507943
They literally teach elementary children that White people sell their souls to the devil:

And then when Republicans say that the government should not be indoctrinating children with such hateful bigotry, Democrats get upset and call Republicans racist and falsely accuse them of """banning""" books.

thats clearly metaphorical
