Parents sue Minnesota charter school alleging racist behavior

Key Facts

Among the claims in the suit, one of the plaintiffs, a former student, said that he wanted to kill himself because he was made to feel different and that the students and staff at DECS did not like Black people.
"As time went on it was apparent how much bias was prevalent at the school and the absolute disregard for it," Kali Proctor, the boy's mother and a named plaintiff in the suit, said in a prepared statement issued to CNN by her attorney.
"I had a tremendous amount of sadness that at only six years old, he faced the harsh reality that we live in a world that people continue to treat others differently based on the color of their skin," Proctor, who is White, said in the same statement.
Further, the school claims that in the case of the other student's stuck glasses, the teacher in question said she might need to cut the glasses out, and was told that was "fine."
