President Donald Trump’s Department of Education has launched an investigation into Chicago Public Schools, alleging that a plan meant to improve educational outcomes for Black children discriminates against other races. The federal inquiry follows a complaint lodged against CPS in February by Parents Defending Education, a right-wing Virginia-based group that has become a key national player in attempts to reshape American education.
