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.'

Isn’t he the former head coach of the Oregon State Beaver Basketball team? if so, he has plenty of money left over from his contract buyout when they fired him

'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?

What a lovely, charming couple.

What is wrong with the word plantation? Good grief.

I wonder if I can get buddy buddy with Elon Musk, and get a slot on the first Mars colonization mission. Its time to get off this rock before the conflagration. Perhaps we can resettle earth in 10000 years.

“...inconsiderate to a wide variety of socio-economic backgrounds.”

At $24,000 a year, I’m guessing the school was inconsiderate to either the rich or filthy rich. Unforgivable.
