Education Week (online registration required): BOSTON (AP) — Officials at the nation's first and oldest public school didn't sufficiently investigate racially charged incidents and failed to address racial hostility, a federal civil rights probe concluded on Monday.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said the failure of Boston Latin School administrators to adequately respond to a 2014 incident in which a male student was accused of using a racial slur and threatening to "lynch" a black female classmate while holding an electric cord amounted to a violation of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. She didn't disclose the race of the male student.
