A parent in Atlanta has filed a federal complaint alleging civil rights violations at her daughter’s elementary school because it segregated Black students from their classmates.
“You can’t treat one group of students based on race differently that other groups," said the lawyer of the mother who filed the federal complaint.A parent in Atlanta filed a federal complaint alleging civil rights violations at her daughter’s elementary school because it segregated Black students from their classmates.
“As a Black parent, what I’m hearing is, my kid doesn’t have the options of six teachers that may work with her learning style. … I only get two [teachers]. How is that right? A white parent can get all six.”Posey said Briscoe told her she separated Black students into the same classes to build a community. Posey said of six teachers, Black second-grade students only had access to two of them.
"When we learned of allegations of this conduct occurring during virtual instruction at Mary Lin Elementary School in August 2020, the district conducted a review and took immediate and appropriate action at that time to resolve the issue," the statement said, although it is unclear what actions Atlanta Public Schools took.
In the complaint, Posey writes she is a 17-year veteran educator who operates a business that provides after-school activities. Shields said it’s unclear how “longstanding” or “widespread” Briscoe’s practice has been. Shields and Posey were unsure if the school has stopped segregating some students by race.
