"They hope to win not in the court of law, but in the court of public opinion," wrote Joel Aziere, an attorney for the school.
The Robinsons stressed to CNN their complaint was more about how the school responded to their concerns."The Robinsons fail to mention that Mrs. Robinson began regularly attending her older son's virtual classes during the pandemic to observe and critique his teachers," and"sent an incessant series of lengthy, misguided, and often disrespectful emails and text messages asserting unfounded complaints about his teachers," the motion reads.
The motion asserts that USM warned the couple their communications violated the school's Common Trust and Parent School Partnership philosophy. In response, a spokesperson for the Robinsons told CNN in a statement,"The University School of Milwaukee continues to demonstrate that they are unwilling to accept responsibility for their culpability in fostering a culture of racial insensitivity and bias. The Robinsons remain confident in their case and will continue to vigorously pursue this litigation to vindicate the interests of their children and the countless others they have victimized.
