‘Whitey’ Case: Texan Cites Racial Harassment at School

A White Texan says he was targeted by classmates and teachers at his predominantly Hispanic school district because of his race, including being called “Whitey” by a math aide and being asked by a principal if he was listening to Dixie music.

In middle school band class in 2018, two students brought up “the evils of the white race in American history,” Brooks Warden said in his years-long lawsuit.

The Supreme Court on June 30 declined to decide if Warden can sue for racial harassment under the Civil Rights Act.

The Austin Independent School District said Warden failed to show the alleged hostility was based on race, rather than his political views.

A federal judge dismissed the complaint. But the Louisiana-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals evenly divided over the issue.

One of the appeals judges who sided with Warden said the culture increasingly accepts – it not celebrates – racism against White people.

“Racism is now edgy and exciting—so long as it’s against whites,” Circuit Judge James Ho wrote.
