WASHINGTON, May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In recent years, Asian Americans' lawsuit against Harvard University has brought national attention to the issue of anti-Asian discrimination in college admissions and the fate of race-based college admissions. These eminent topics of the time are related to much broader issues in our nation's education system: the prevalence of failing public schools in especially minority communities and politicians' attempts to expand racial balancing into K-12 education at various levels, to name a few.
Our nation calls for meaningful and sustainable solutions to address:
To examine these important topics, Asian American Coalition for Education (AACE) will host The First National Conference on Equal Education Rights on Monday, May 20th, 2019, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC (529 14th Street NW., Washington, DC, 20045). Taking an in-depth look into broad issues related to equal education rights, this historic conference will feature presentations and speeches by leading scholars, community leaders and government officials from all racial backgrounds.
We have invited U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to deliver the keynote speech for this important conference, among other distinguished guests.
In this spirit, AACE cordially invites education policy makers, researchers, educators, Asian-American community leaders and interested citizens to attend our upcoming event. We also welcome all journalists and members of the press to cover this conference.
