A lawsuit has been filed against the Kiel Area School District by a former student.
The student, who is acting through his parents Amy and Dan Wempner, filed the suit with the federal District Court of Eastern Wisconsin on October 4th, claiming the district failed to stop racist bullying.
According to the complaint, the student, who is black, claims the district continuously disregarded racial harassment that was happening in the school and failed to “reasonably intervene to prevent it”.
The student claims the bullying got so bad, they had to transfer schools.
The district has yet to file a response to the suit.
