Corrine Brown (FL-D) has been in the news several times and it usually is over her making everything a race issue. This latest story fits that narrative. Superintendent of Duval County Schools, Dr. Nikolai Vitti, is accusing Brown of retaliating against him and not carrying if she is wasting taxpayers money to do it.
Her office presented Duval County schools with a letter from the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights demanding to know if students are getting equal access to a quality education.As reported by the News4Jax, the U.S. Department of Education wants to see if there is another ethnic diversity of teachers in Duval County.
Dr. Vitti was outraged by the accusation and had the following to say:

The letter was forwarded to us from Congresswoman Brown’s office.
Why is it retaliation? Dr. Vitti said:
The letter came on the heels of a workshop, where the congresswoman made statements about the district being sued (over) the possible recommendation that I had for boundary changes. So directly or indirectly, connecting the dots, this seems like it was retaliation.
Brown’s office has denied they had anything to do with the investigation.
Brown has also said schools with a higher number of African-American and Hispanic students need more attention. She stated the recent changes Vitti made by firing certain principals and teachers was a mistake.
