Here’s a bit of news out of the progressive political utopia that is Minneapolis, and this is in regards to a new teachers union contract and who would be let go first in the event of layoffs:
The Minneapolis teachers union has negotiated a contract in which the district will fire white teachers first. This is the inevitable endpoint of "equity."https://t.co/my2jMjpsvr pic.twitter.com/UKiyhLP37G

We say “you can’t make this stuff up” quite a bit, because you don’t need to make it up when people are doing these things in real life.

What in the world?

So it’s come to this?
A new contract between Minneapolis Public Schools and the local teachers union mandates that white teachers must be fired first when any kind of staff downsizing is initiated.
“Starting with the Spring 2023 Budget Tie-Out Cycle, if excessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the District shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population,” the agreement, which was originally obtained by Alpha News, says. Minority teachers “may be exempted from district-wide layoff[s] outside seniority order,” and will also be given priority during reinstatement.
In addition, teachers at 15 “racially isolated schools…with the greatest concentration of poverty” will also be protected from layoffs.
Are the teachers going to sue?

Yeah, one of the conservative legal advocacy groups is working on it.

Isn't this unconstitutional?

It's unconstitutional and illegal under the Civil Rights Act.

“Unconstitutional and illegal” never seems to prevent the Left from trying it anyway.

It sure looks that way.

Hiring/firing based on race… isn't there a word for that? 🤔 https://t.co/XV5AxBI0sT

It’s perfectly legal if the Left does it… apparently. We’ll see if this insanity survives legal challenges.
