What should an LEA do if the parent of a student of Middle Eastern descent objects to the student being categorized with a Race Category of “White”?
The federal definition of the Race Category “White” is: “A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East.” Therefore, students of Middle Eastern descent are placed in the “White” category. If a parent objects, an LEA can remove the Race Category of “White” and indicate that the Race Category is missing.
