The Davis School District in Utah intentionally ignored widespread racial harassment, according to a scathing new report from the U.S. Department of Justice.
School officials have been accused of failing to respond to hundreds of reports from Black students who said they've been called racial slurs, including the N-word, been threatened or even been physically assaulted. Asian American students also were subject to widespread harassment in the district, according to the DOJ.
The Justice Department said the school district deliberately showed indifference to race-based student harassment, violated Black students' equal protection rights and violated the equal protection clause when it refused to allow Black students to form student groups. Investigators also found that some staff members directly targeted students with racially abusive remarks.The Department of Justice building in Washington, D.C., Dec. 4, 2020.
