MPS Under Fire Over Discipline Policies | Milwaukee News

The Office of Civil Rights is launching a new probe into Milwaukee Public Schools over discipline practices, following controversial comments by district leaders and a divisive memo that framed racial equity through a “lens of Whiteness.” This investigation marks a policy shift — now the focus is on whether race is being factored into discipline decisions, not just whether outcomes disproportionately affect certain groups. It’s the latest chapter in MPS’s long history of scrutiny, including a 2017 settlement over racial disparities in suspensions. If violations are found, the district could face federal funding penalties — unless it agrees to corrective action.
