The parents of 4 black students in New York are planning to file a $12M lawsuit against a school district after a teacher wrote the caption 'Monkey do' above an image of their children, and then showed it to the class during a slideshow.
In a notice of claim — the first step in a possible lawsuit — a lawyer for the families said the image was altered to compare the students to monkeys or gorillas. It says the district violated the group's civil rights.
