The parents of three Black Georgia students file a lawsuit against the school district for banning Black Lives Matter attire but allowing nooses and confederate symbols.

Lakeisha Hamilton and Lauretta McCray filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Effingham County School District on behalf of their children.

The suit alleges the dress code enforcement is unconstitutional and violates their First Amendment rights. Effingham County High School and Effingham College & Career Academy forbade Black Lives Matter attire because they say it is disruptive.

A Black student allegedly was refused entry to a football game for wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt, but a white student was allowed to wear a shirt that read "Stomp on My Flag; I'll Stomp Your A**."

The Effingham County School District superintendent Yancy Ford and the school board have been named defendants in the lawsuit. They assert they hadn't yet been served.
