A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed against Metro Nashville Public Schools and a teacher last fall over a controversial assignment taught at Waverly Belmont Elementary School about keeping Black slaves under control.
A Nashville family filed the lawsuit on behalf of their son, referred to as John Doe, who has autism.
The assignment, called Let s Make a Slave, was given to a fourth grade class at Waverly Belmont in February 2020 and focused on a Willie Lynch speech said to have been given in the 1700s by a West Indian plantation owner to white Virginia colonists about how to control their slaves.
