Professor Files Civil Rights Complaint Against Black Girls CODE, Claiming it Discriminates Against..

...White Men

Allow us to introduce you to present professor Mark Perry, a brave warrior who has dedicated his life to fighting for the rights of the marginalized and oppressed white man, who just can’t seem to get ahead. A college economics professor, Perry recently lodged a complaint with the Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights against Detroit’s Wayne State University. WSU hosts a summer workshop for Black Girls CODE, a nonprofit that introduces black girls to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers, which Perry claims violates Title IX, a law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex for educational institutions that receive federal funds.
-----------
Perry said he hasn’t been in contact with the summer program because his suit is against Wayne State, not the nonprofit Black Girls CODE. He suggests that Wayne State start some programs for the underrepresented white boys who miss out on opportunities because black girls are taking over the computer industry. The Root has previously reported on the nonexistent phenomenon:

The facts are inescapable: Tech companies don’t hire black people.

Perry is acting on a fiction based on fear and selfishness. Providing resources for an actual minority experiencing proven, quantifiable discrimination doesn’t create standing for a lawsuit. (Is this loon any relation to Rick Perry?)

He’s employed by rightwing billionaires via his position with AEI.

This guy has filed 30 similar suits nationwide. The relevant biography for him isnt that he’s a professor. It’s that he’s part of the rightwing propaganda machine.

He’s paid by AEI (the rightwing think tank, that is funded by rightwing billionaires) to do this. Because billionaires find this kind of identity politics useful.
