“The complaint claims Bonham ISD and a city court discriminated against both Black students and disabled students by creating a hostile environment at school. The groups also filed a separate complaint against Corpus Christi ISD with the Texas Education Agency.
Four civil rights groups filed a federal complaint on Tuesday accusing the municipal court and public school district of the northeast Texas town of Bonham of unfairly penalizing Black and disabled students for behavior complaints by pushing them out of schools and sometimes into the county jail.
“…School districts are very overwhelmed, and instead of doing what they need to do to serve students properly, they’re trying to find an easy way out,” said Olivia Lee, an attorney with Disability Rights Texas who signed the complaint.”
