A Wisconsin mother is considering legal action against her son's school district, claiming they denied him essential reading support due to a policy that allegedly prioritizes students based on race. Colbey Decker alleges that her son, who has dyslexia, was placed on a waitlist for one-on-one reading services, a service he had received in his previous school district. Decker discovered language on the Green Bay Area School District's website that she interprets as prioritizing additional help for Black, Hispanic, and Native American students.

Decker confronted the school principal about the policy, expressing concern that her son was receiving less support because he is white. According to Decker, the principal confirmed the prioritization system, outlining how it works. The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), representing Decker, sent a letter to the district arguing that the policy violates the U.S. Constitution and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. They claim the policy, outlined in the King Elementary School Success Plan, explicitly prioritizes reading resources based on race, disadvantaging Decker's son.

The school's website justifies the policy by stating that prioritizing certain student groups ultimately benefits all students. However, WILL associate counsel Cory Brewer argues that such a policy is both morally and legally troubling, demanding equal treatment for all children regardless of race. WILL has demanded the district rescind the policy and provide Decker's son with the necessary reading support. They threaten further legal action if the district fails to comply. The Green Bay Area School District responded to Fox News Digital, denying the existence of such a policy and clarifying that the language on the school's website does not constitute official board policy.
