This Court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1345 and 42 U.S.C. 2000h-2.
Plaintiffs are citizens of Tennessee.
SCBE is organized under, and exists pursuant to, the laws of the State of Tennessee and, as such, is subject to the prohibitions of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Plaintiffs are former students of the District who have been subjected to harassment constituting discrimination on the basis of race. The racial harassment to which Plaintiffs were subjected was severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive. The deliberate indifference of East officials prevented Plaintiffs from enjoying the educational benefits and opportunities provided by East. The District's response to the racial harassment to which Plaintiffs were subjected constituted a denial of equal protection of the laws on the basis of race, in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
