Obama Family Settles Racial Bias Lawsuit with Milwaukee School

Craig and Kelly Robinson claimed their sons were denied re-enrollment after raising concerns about racial issues at the University School of Milwaukee.

• The lawsuit was filed in 2022 by Craig and Kelly Robinson, alleging racial bias after their sons were not re-enrolled at the University School of Milwaukee.
• The Robinsons argued that their children were barred due to complaints about racial stereotypes in school assignments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• School officials maintained that the decision was based on the Robinsons' disrespectful communication, not their complaints about racism.
• A settlement was reached, and the lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, preventing it from being refiled in court.
• The terms of the settlement remain undisclosed, with both parties expressing regret over the children's departure from the school.
