Civil rights complaint filed against a school district in Bonham, TX after Black students faced racially motivated attacks, reminiscent of Jim Crow segregation.

"During his first week of school, other kids taunted the Edwards’ 12-year-old son Brilliant, telling him to “go back and pick cotton.” Over the next year, he faced a series of racially motivated attacks by students, school officials, and police officers, resulting in his unjustified arrests and removal from school at the age of 13 in December 2022, according to allegations in a new civil rights complaint."
