Several parents are arguing that a Virginia school’s student ambassador program created to fight systemic racism is discriminating against students on the basis of race, according to Court House News.

A Fourth Circuit panel heard oral arguments Thursday from the parents who are suing the Loudoun County school board over its Student Equity Ambassador Program, which allegedly discriminates against white applicants, according to CourtHouse News. The program originally was created for “all students of color” but changed its criteria to students who are focused on social justice and “raising the voices of students of color.”

“Although social justice is a term many scholars and speakers have used, which might have generic meanings in a dictionary, the term in this context refers to a particular ideology associated with progressive politics,” the parent’s brief stated.

While white students make up nearly 45% of the school, just 17% of the student ambassador program is comprised of white students, CourtHouse News reported.

Loudoun County school board’s attorney Andrew Selman argued that the parents’ students did not show interest in the club and were therefore not discriminated against, CourtHouse News reported.

Are schools' anti-racist policies actually racist?

The student ambassador program also has an anonymous bias reporting application for students to submit incidents of racial bias without being identified which has a “chilling effect” on free speech, U.S. Circuit Judge Paul V. Niemeyer stated according to CourtHouse News.

“When you invite student-on-student snitching or student-on-student ratting, isn’t that an obvious chilling effect?” Niemeyer said at the hearing.

The hearing comes after a federal judge originally dismissed the case in January 2022, arguing that students were not harmed by the application standards of the club.

Loudoun County School Board and the parent’s attorney Daniel Suhr did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Leftwing billionaire George Soros bankrolls everything evil – most recently the 75 pro-criminal “Soros district attorneys” who have transformed America’s most dynamic cities into degraded, crime-infested hellscapes of skyrocketing violent crime. Soros also funds drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders, globalism, Black Lives Matter, “defunding the police,” devaluing America's currency and destroying her sovereignty. But why?

Whistleblower magazine reveals and explores the stunning truth: Soros, an atheist, literally says he’s “some kind of god,” obsessed with re-creating the world in his image. Here are a few actual quotes from Soros: “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood…” “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.” “You know, in my personal capacity I’m not actually a selfless philanthropic person. I’ve very much self-centered.” “I am kind of a nut who wants to have an impact.” “Next to my fantasies about being God, I also have very strong fantasies of being mad. … I have a lot of madness in my family. So far I have escaped it.”

Except he hasn’t “escaped it.” Not only is Soros totally mad, but he’s imposing his insanity on America. See Soros and the leftwing world he has created and funded as never before in “THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THINKS HE’S ‘GOD’: Why George Soros is obsessed with destroying America.”
