Kansas State University (KSU) was hit with a civil rights complaint Wednesday for a scholarship program that allegedly discriminates based on race.
The Legal Insurrection Foundation’s Equal Protection Project filed a complaint with the U. S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights over the university’s Joey Lee Garmon Scholarship, which is designed for applicants “of an ethnic group that has been historically and traditionally oppressed in the achievement of academic and leadership endeavors,” according to the school’s website. The scholarship description says it seeks to include students “of African American, American Indian, Asian American, and Latinx American heritage.”
“It violates Title VI for a recipient of federal money to create, support and promote a racially segregated program,” the complaint alleges. “When a public institution does so, such conduct also violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.”
Cornell Law School Professor William A. Jacobson, founder of EqualProtect.org, said in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation that KSU “apparently did not get the message of the Supreme Court’s recent affirmative action ruling.”
“Erecting barriers to access based on race and ethnicity is a constitutional and legal harm,” Jacobson said. “There undoubtedly are students who will not bother to apply because they have the wrong skin color or ancestry. KSU not only needs to drop the racial litmus test, but also promote the fact that it is doing so.”
The Equal Protection Project previously filed civil rights complaints alleging programs at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, SUNY Buffalo’s School of Law and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln violated the law by using racial preferences.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Today’s ruling elites champion policies every previous generation of Americans would have regarded as outright evil. At the top of that list would be the supremely radioactive issue – illuminated by the hit summer film “Sound of Freedom” – of the widespread trafficking and sexual slavery of children, as well as the shocking prevalence of pedophiles in the United States of America. Indeed, the U.S. is the largest market for child sexual abuse in the world.
According to Tim Ballard, who has led many missions rescuing sex-trafficked children around the world, the Biden administration actually ENABLES AND PROMOTES the trafficking and sexual slavery of children with its horrendous border policies, its push for early sexualization of children, championing children’s “right to consent” on everything including mutilating transgender surgeries, and so on.
“Pedophiles are sitting back right now,” says Ballard, “and going, ‘We’ve been pushing this agenda for decades, and now we don’t have to push any more, because the left is taking care of it for us’ – IN AMERICA!”
Ballard’s concerns are confirmed by Tara Lee Rodas, a Health and Human Services whistleblower who recently testified before Congress that under Joe Biden, “THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME THE MIDDLEMAN IN A LARGE-SCALE, MULTI-BILLION-DOLLAR CHILD TRAFFICKING OPERATION.”
But that’s just the beginning. The whole, secret criminal mega-enterprise of child sex trafficking and the global elites’ affinity for pedophilia is exposed as never before in the August issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, in a groundbreaking issue titled “THE NEW AMERICAN SLAVE TRADE: How the Biden regime enables and promotes child sex trafficking in the U.S.A.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
