MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Several parents of students at Monroeville Junior High School have filed a discrimination lawsuit against administrators and the Monroe County Board of Education.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed the suit in U.S. District Court in Mobile Wednesday evening on behalf of 11 parents who are seeking class-action status.
The parents say their children have been subjected to racial slurs and other harassment while attending the school.
They say black students there have been called the "N-word," "filthy trash" and are disciplined more harshly and frequently than their white counterparts.
Mark Boardman is the school system's attorney and says the allegations of racism were investigated and found to be false. He said the school system is looking forward to having its case heard in court.
