I'm absolutely disgusted by how these young Black students are treated. This school district has a LOT to answer for. We need to stop treating these budding minds like prisoners instead of human beings.

From npub1dtj684nlkaer2wq9z6jw54paepez5yjk67q25a3e0sh8eltxm9xs8t4htu (npub1dtj…4htu) at the npub1hgr7umlexec6xmg89w2u75ajlqt5dhmql8jdue09pgj5zzdzh2zqw92e7r (npub1hgr…2e7r):

Yesterday, attorneys with the advocacy organizations #Texas Appleseed, Texas Civil Rights Project, #Disability Rights Texas, and the National Center for Youth Law filed a civil rights complaint with the federal Department of Justice on behalf of Brilliant and C.J., another Bonham ISD student who separately faced discrimination both as a Black student and as a student with disabilities.

The complaint alleges Bonham ISD perpetuated a racially hostile environment in the case of both students and a hostile educational environment on the basis of disability in C.J.’s case.”
