As a result of ongoing racism and horrific death threats within a suburban Detroit school, the parents of a Black student have decided to strike back, filing a massive $150-million lawsuit against the district on behalf of their daughter and other Black students targeted with the abuse.
Corey Williams of the Associated Press reported about the federal lawsuit filed on Thursday, Nov. 18, in Detroit by Cedric McCarrall and Carmen Davidson-McCarrall. The lawsuit also alleges that a white teacher at Bloomfield Hills High School “placed a noose around the neck of a Black doll and dropped it over a railing” for a “science project.”
According to Williams, “the Associated Press left voicemails and emails on Friday [Nov. 19] seeking comment from the district superintendent and the high school principal. Both are named as defendants in the lawsuit.”
