Black students allege school district banned BLM attire but allowed nooses, confederate symbols
A lawsuit claims school officials said Black Lives Matter messaging is disruptive, while the Confederate flag represents “heritage not hate” and is a matter of pride.
Three Black students in Southeast Georgia are suing a school district, contending its officials’ enforcement of an unconstitutional dress code that forbade Black Lives Matter attire but permitted nooses and confederate emblems on campuses violated their First Amendment rights.
Lakeisha Hamilton, the mother of one of the students, and Tauretta McCray, the mother of the remaining two, filed the federal civil rights lawsuit against the Effingham County School District on behalf of their minor children, Georgia Public Broadcasting reported Monday.
They claim administrators at Effingham County High School and Effingham College & Career Academy, located about 20 miles northwest of Savannah, engaged in an egregious pattern of purposefully ignoring reports regarding racial intimidation and discrimination incidents.
