A Black mother in Atlantta claims her child’s school segregates classes based on race.
Kila Posey filed a federal complaint against Mary Lin Elementary School.
Posey says she was stunned to find out Principal Sharyn Briscoe – who is also black – placed her daughter in an all-Black class.
Posey insisted that her child be placed in a class with white students, but Briscoe said the second-grader would be isolated.
A recorded conversation between Posey and an assistant principal confirmed separating the student by race was, in fact, Briscoe’s idea.
That is a violation of Title four of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Atlanta Public Schools conducted a review of the allegations, and “appropriate actions were taken.”
But Posey was not satisfied and filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights.
Posey wants the principal and her administration removed from the school.
