One of California’s most underperforming school districts is spending nearly $300,000 teaching kids to rap, raising the alarm among DEI watchdogs. In January, the Merced City School District in the Central Valley — one of the state’s lower-performing school districts based on test performances — signed a $270,000 agreement with Fresno-based School Yard Rap, which describes its approach to learning as “edutainment. ”  The contracts include a summer “Rap Camp” and an “African American Affinity Group”, which is only for 100 African American students, raising questions about whether the programming complies with federal law.
