Atlanta (CNN) A mother's claim that her children's school was assigning Black students to certain classes has shaken up one Atlanta school community with some parents insisting the principal would never group students based on race. The district's chief academic officer also acknowledged in a recorded conversation in March 2021 that Briscoe admitted to designating classes for Black students, the complaint states. "We have a small number of Black students, but it's a very loving and inclusive community of families of all races and backgrounds, led by our well-respected principal." Some were majority Black schools clustering White students. She said despite the backlash from other parents, it's not fair that Black students have fewer options for classes than White students.
