The suit alleges violation of the student’s constitutional rights and calls for his suspension to be removed from his record, in addition to damages to be determined at trial.
The parents of a California middle schooler accused of wearing “blackface” while trying to emulate his favorite football players with eye paint are suing over the "ridiculous decision to suspend" him.
The incident was between two students of Muirlands Middle School while other youths watched, according to authorities. The school holds a student assembly and police plan to increase their presence at the Rec Center.
