School Accused of Racist Abuse Against Ex-NFL Star's Son
21 Oct
Summary
- Sixth grader faced racist slurs and comparisons to animals.
- School allegedly ignored repeated warnings about harassment.
- Lawsuit cites negligence and civil rights violations.
A lawsuit has been filed against Oaks Christian school, alleging that former NFL star Eric Dickerson's sixth-grade son endured severe racial harassment, bullying, and physical assault. The complaint details incidents where the student was called the N-word and compared to animals during a zoo field trip. It also states classmates allegedly used racist nicknames and that one student was known to carry a knife.
Despite the family repeatedly informing the school of the ongoing abuse, the lawsuit claims Oaks Christian failed to act, even after confirming a physical assault via video. The student's teacher allegedly accused him of lying in front of his peers after he reported the abuse. The family is suing for negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and violating California's Unruh Civil Rights Act. The student is no longer enrolled at the school.
