Michelle Obama's Brother and His Wife Sue Kids' Former School, Allege 'Unfair Treatment' of Students
In their complaint, Craig and Kelly Robinson allege their children were "suddenly" terminated from the Wisconsin school after the parents "raised concerns about USM's treatment of its students of color
Craig Robinson, who is Michelle Obama's brother, and his wife Kelly Robinson have taken legal action against a private school in Milwaukee, alleging the educational institution expelled their children after both parents raised concerns about the way students of color were treated.
On Monday, they filed a complaint against their sons' former school, University School of Milwaukee, which they began attending in 2016.
In a statement, Craig and Kelly said that "as parents of biracial children," they chose to enroll their children, ages 11 and 9, at USM because of the school's stated commitment to inclusivity and diversity.
The parents allege in the lawsuit that in April 2021, when their older son was in the fifth grade, he was "suddenly" terminated from the school. Two months later, their younger son, then in the third grade, saw his promise of enrollment for the incoming school year revoked "without prior notice or just cause," according to the complaint.
Per their complaint, the parents claim this action was taken after they "raised concerns about USM's treatment of its students of color and submitted bias incident reports on behalf of underrepresented students."
