Parental Petitions

Parental Petitions was a file stored in the "Education" section of the Talus Archives that had information on petitions made by the parents of human children who wanted schools on the Core Worlds planet Talus to segregate their children from non-human ones. The Imperial Planetary Governor of Talus, Ili P'tan, had grades manipulated by an algorithm so that parents would notice that the grades of children in classes taught by members of a different species were falling, and classes with a pronounced mix of humans and non-humans began to be held after school as punishment for "disruptive elements." As a result, human parents soon made petitions calling for schools to segregate humans away from non-humans, who they believed were ruining their children's education. Within weeks, laws were passed to segregate schools on Talus. In 35 ABY, the file was referenced by the historian Beaumont Kin in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.
