Two teenage boys found themselves expelled from Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, California after a controversial photo surfaced. The photo, which some claimed depicted blackface, caused a stir and ultimately led to the boys' departure from the elite Catholic institution.
However, the boys and their families were not willing to let this incident go without a fight. They filed a lawsuit against the school, seeking justice and clearing their names. It was revealed that the supposed blackface was actually green acne medication, something that the boys had been using for their severe acne. In fact, the photo in question was taken as a joke between friends, not as a racial insult.
Despite their explanations, the photo went viral and the boys were labeled as racists. It was a difficult time for the boys and their families as their reputation was tarnished and their future seemed uncertain. That is until a recent verdict in their favor.
After a lengthy court battle, the boys and their families were awarded $1 million each, along with reimbursement for their tuition fees. The jury concluded that the school had breached their oral contract and lacked due process in their decision to expel the boys.
The boys' lawyer, Krista Baughman, stated that their main goal was to clear their names, and with this verdict, they have achieved just that. She also mentioned the impact that this incident could have on the boys' future, but now they can put it behind them and move on.
While the boys did not win on all of their claims against the school, they have still come out victorious in their fight for justice. The boys' families are relieved that their sons can now enroll in other schools without the stain of this incident following them.
On the other hand, Saint Francis High School stated that they respectfully disagree with the jury's decision and are considering their legal options, including appealing the judgement. However, they will be required to reimburse the families for their expenses, including moving and living costs, as per the jury's verdict.
The families of the boys faced a difficult time during this whole ordeal, with one of them even having to move to another state so their son could continue playing football. It was a long and arduous battle, but in the end, justice was served for the two teenage boys and their families.
