A group of young Sacramento students was unlawfully singled out and punished for creating posters that supported the Black Lives Matter movement as part of an art class led by a parent volunteer, the American Civil Liberties Union said.
The school also violated the 1st Amendment rights of the parent who led the students’ art lesson in September by banning her from coming back to the classroom in retaliation for speaking to the principal about the incident, the ACLU said.A district official said in an emailed statement Friday that the allegations are serious and that the district is investigating.
After the lesson, the students were assigned to focus on a change they wanted to see at their school. Four students created Black Lives Matters posters, including one who used paper and markers to depict people holding hands and a sign that said “Black Lives Matter.”The students’ teacher, David Madden, made those students redo their posters because they were “inappropriate and political” and threw one student’s art in the trash, the ACLU said.
