Craig and Kelly Robinson allege that the school had systemic racist issues.
. In the lawsuit, the couple said they had"communicated to USM their concerns about USM's failure to provide the 'supportive, inclusive' learning environment that was promised in the enrollment contract, the USM Middle School Handbook, USM's Common Trust."
"As a lot of parents, we heard what was going on in the classroom because of COVID and there were repeated use of racial and ethnic stereotypes that were in actual assignments," Craig Robinson said."The use of the word plantation and things of that nature. In addition to the racial and ethnic stereotypes, there was an insensitivity to socioeconomic status and as well as a disregard for the children who weren't physically in the classroom.
"The first bias that we noticed I did put a report in and was told that the reporting system was not working," she told"GMA.""The head of school told me that this was not a bias -- Each other time following when any bias was reported, instead of acknowledging and working to make it better, they ended up dismissing our students."
According to the lawsuit, the"Underground Railroad" was a simulation in which students of color were told to act like"runaway slaves" while USM faculty acted as"slave catchers." The program was discontinued only after multiple students of color, USM parents, Black alumni and others protested its insensitivity, the couple said in the suit.
