Victory: Asheville (NC) Agrees To Stop Racial Discrimination In Scholarship Program After Lawsuit By Judicial Watch and Legal Insurrection
On October 20, 2021, we reported on a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch and Legal Insurrection Foundation challenging a public school scholarship program in Asheville, NC, that discriminated on the basis of race, as only black students were eligible.
