Michelle Obama's brother and his wife sue $24,000-a-year Milwaukee school for kicking their nine and 11-year-old 'model student' children out when they complained that virtual lessons 'used racist stereotypes and word plantation'

The brother of former first lady Michelle Obama, and his wife are suing the University School of Milwaukee, alleging that administrators expelled their two sons after they complained of racist bias during virtual lessons.

Craig and Kelly Robinson filed a lawsuit against the pricey Pre-K-12 school this week after alleging that the private school used words like 'plantation' inappropriately during lessons. They also claim that teachers were inconsiderate to a wide variety of socio-economic backgrounds.

The complaint alleges that the school retaliated against their family - whose kids are aged nine and 11 - after they submitted reports in January and March 2021 about concerns they had about racial and socio-economic bias they reportedly overheard during virtual learning last year.

According to a termination letter the school sent to the Robinsons, the reasoning for their sons' dismissal was because the Robinsons had 'not fulfilled the foregoing commitments as a partner to USM and its Middle School teachers and administrators.'

But in an interview with 'Good Morning America' Tuesday, the Robinsons discuss the lawsuit in which they claim the dismissal was retaliation to the conversations they had previously had with the school about racial bias in virtual school assignments.(snip)

The Robinsons' lawsuit filed this week cites the termination letter, which alleges they 'repeatedly engaged in disrespectful and demanding communications with our teachers and administrators.'

The letter continues with, 'it has only become more evident that there has been a complete breakdown in your family's trust of and respect for USM.'

They look happy and full of the spirit of life.
Might I suggest they get a larger feeding trough?

Years ago I ate at a restaurant that called itself Soup Plantation. I wonder if it went out of business because of its racist name.

Plantation is word for large farm or tract of land.

Used all over the world.

In Maine, Large tracts of land that are unincorperated are called Plantations.

In Hawaii large farms are called plantations. In South America the same.

The poorly read and poorly educated are now entering their 40s and are making their pathetic mark.

Just as recently as 10 years ago, the University School of Milwaukee had in their fourth grade curriculum that students reenacted the “Underground Railroad,” and students dressed up as slaves and ran through the school in the dark, and the teachers were actually the slave masters who captured these students,’ Kelly Robinson pointed out during the interview.

they claim this happened 10 years ago yet they still enrolled their kids?


Excellent point...! Hope the schools’ attorney points that out.

Consoling the perpetually offended is getting very old.

Does this mean they didn't pay?

I can't imagine how difficult it must have been expelling the students knowing who the parents were. I suspect the parents' behavior was so egregious it left the school with no good choice.

I also can't imagine any school that would be perfect enough for these students, or more importantly their parents.
