Illinois high school offers racially segregated math classes

A high school in Illinois is offering math classes segregated by race, according to course listings for the 2023-24 school year found on the school's website. There are at least five course offerings at Evanston Township High School that are only open to either black or "Latinx" students. A course description for an Algebra 2 class, for example, states that "this code for the course is restricted to students who identify as Latinx, all genders." An Advanced Placement Calculus class is similarly "restricted to students who identify as Black, all genders." There is a separate AP Calculus course for "Latinx" students, as well.
