Jessica Orta retained the law firm Clark Hill PLC to represent her in a suit that centers around her son’s experience at O.K. Adcock Elementary School.

According to the complaint filed on Sept. 22, Orta’s son was called the N word several times and speaking to teachers and staffers about it only escalated her son’s abuse.

Orta detailed the phrases in the lawsuit her son was called: “Your skin is burnt by the sun;” “You’re too black;” “You eat 15 buckets of fried chicken every day;” “You shower in Kool-Aid;” and “You’re a watermelon muncher.”

“The harassment continued in the ’24-’25 school year. Another boy from the same friend group escalated the abuse starting the year by barring my son from entering the school, saying that he was, quote, ‘too black to come inside,'” Orta said.

Orta said Assistant Principal Matt Landahl pushed back on the allegations of racial abuse and said of one of the students bullying her son, “[he] is black too.”

Not sure why it’s newsworthy, but the bullies need to be dealt with. Just handle and be done.

This definitely happens in Louisiana. Some of the worst bullying I've seen is between "dark" kids and "light" kids. Southern University had a paperbag test for a reason.

Does Landahl not know that black people clown each other about skin color?

Light or dark meat?

Actually, this story seems to smell fishy, not like chicken.

Just sounds like a bit of dark humor.

Idiot AP admitted the allegations are true.

Could you imagine if every parent sued the school board when their child was made fun of in school?

I feel like these are racist epithets from the Mom's generation which means she is probably making this stuff up. I just have a hard time believing modern hispanic kids are making kool-aid and fried chicken jokes.

Admitted it but also defended the racial undertones by pointing to the skin color (assumed lighter than the "victim") of one of the bullies. My guess is the AP is not black and is not aware of how harsh black kids are to other black kids with different skin tones.

Yeah there’s reasonable doubt just based on the language alone. This is almost Jessie Smollet levels of frickery.

Did I miss where the mom accused a specific race of the bullying?
