What's This About?
This post criticizes Eugene, Oregon's 'BIPOC Water Safety and Lifeguard Cohort,' a taxpayer-funded swimming program restricted to Black, Indigenous, and people of color youth. The program aims to increase water safety skills and lifeguard certification opportunities for BIPOC youth through the community safety payroll tax and Youth Empowerment Program partnership. Critics argue the racial eligibility requirement constitutes illegal discrimination, while supporters view it as addressing disparities in water safety and drowning prevention among underrepresented communities. The post frames the program as 'anti-White discrimination' and has prompted federal civil rights investigation.
🔥Why It's Trending
The post gained significant traction in early January 2026 after being amplified by Libs of TikTok and tagged to then-Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, who responded confirming a Department of Justice investigation into the program. The controversy aligns with broader ongoing debates about race-conscious programs and DEI policies, making it resonant with audiences engaged in culture war discussions. The involvement of federal law enforcement attention elevated the post's visibility and sparked polarized reactions across the political spectrum.
