tonight Detroit Public Schools facing
two separate lawsuits claiming school
staff is responsible for injuries to
students on school grounds local forager
monteri is live tonight with what the
teacher and security guard are accused
of Germont
kimberley DPS Community Schools will
find itself defending the actions of
that teacher and security guard both are
accused of assaulting and they're
injuring students on school grounds and
this is litigation that could force the
district not to mention taxpayers to pay
up exactly what happened inside to
Detroit Public Schools that's the
looming question according to two
separate lawsuits a teacher at Henderson
Academy on the west side and the
security guard at Westside Academy high
employed by DPS Community Schools
crossed the line by entering students
within the buildings at Westside Academy
the civil suit against DPS TD &
securitized security services claims
from the 14 year old student tried going
inside the high school he was met by a
security guard the student wanted to get
his wallet that he had left inside the
complaint alleges the guard swung his
arm out with such force he hit the boy
in the face the student was knocked to
the ground the impact so hard and left
the boy with a broken jaw then there
seven year old Jason Brandon says my
finger is going and mine
am I ever gonna have a finger again the
first grader at Henderson Academy has
permanently deformed he lost the tip of
his middle finger after a civil suit
accuses his teacher of getting so upset
that she slammed the boy's finger in the
door is a case of I've had it with you
kid and she lost her temper and she
slammed the door and it was like a
guillotine on his finger or you
shouldn't even be dealing with kids if
you're gonna be that frustrated in this
case the district is accused of being
negligent Jason's mother and attorney
believe administrators downplayed the
emergency and if they had acted properly
maybe the boys finger could have been
saved I never knew it was amputated
nobody told me that it was amputated the
doctors did and they didn't help you get
to the hospital he didn't even tell her
the tip of the finger was in the bag I
mean give me a break this is basic stuff
that we would expect from a stranger let
alone our educators who are supposed to
be keeping our children safe
so tonight the district told us that
they had no comment about the lawsuits
about the student who lost his finger at
the Henderson Academy now I reached back
out late tonight to get another comment
regarding the new allegations and
lawsuits against the person the kid who
claims that his jaw was broken
a spokesperson claims due to the holiday
she could not verify that the legal team
had recieved the lawsuit or if they
could even comment on that particular
lawsuit now we should point out both
lawsuits were filed last week reporting
live outside DPS headquarters tonight
Dermott Terry local 4 are they more to
come on this story all right your montt
local students reacting tonight after
the White House announces plans to
rescind a policy that encourages schools
to use race as a factor in college
admissions the purpose was to promote
diversity in schools
let's bring in Larry Spruill now who is
at Wayne State University tonight and
Larry this all comes as the Justice
Department investigates an incident at
Harvard yeah does Jason those claims
click those claims come from the Ivy
League schools stating that they had
illegally discriminated against
asian-americans it also states that the
school allegedly holds higher standards
against that group when it comes to the
admissions process now meanwhile I spoke
with students here at Wayne State they
tell me they want things to stay just
the same they are Tuesday the Trump
administration is attempting to get rid
of the grading curve when it comes to
college admission the White House wants
to change a policy enforced by President
Obama that supports looking at race
during college admissions now the goal
of this current policy is to promote
diversity on the college campuses yanny
what she was from Africa and he's
attending Wayne State University he
agrees with the current affirmative
action policy I feel like we should
allow more minorities to to go to
college Tuesday I talked to several
students on Wayne State they tell me
more diversity on college campuses is a
good thing I have friends that
meet initial qualifications and because
of the affirmative action they were able
to go to college this call for change
comes after claims that Harvard
University is illegally holding Asian
American students to a higher standard
in the admissions process but many
students I talked to agree that things
should just stay the way they are just
because you have the exact same marks
does does not mean that that that person
has had the the same amount of chances
as other now I spoke with leaders here
at Wayne State they tell me if this
policy does change and more than likely
things will also change here at Wayne
State now the next step will probably be
that the Supreme Court will hear this
discussion this is not the first time
they heard this conversation before that
happened in 1970 we're live at Wayne
State tonight Larry scrool local 4 and
Larry what is Harvard saying by the way
about that incident
well Jason they said they had been
following the rules that has lasted over
the last 40 years so basically right now
they're saying they have not broken any
rules whatsoever all right Larry
