SPLC files DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINT with the FEDS because the JEFFERSON PARISH PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM is disciplining BLACK STUDENTS for engaging in "TYPICAL TEENAGE HORSEPLAY"!

In Louisiana’s Jefferson Parish Public School System, African-American students face a harsh reality. Typical teenage misbehavior, such as horseplay or cursing, doesn’t result in a trip to the principal’s office. Instead, these students are shipped off to alternative schools where they often languish for months, even years.
