Jeremiah Parker, et al. v. Kearney School District

Kansas City, Missouri civil rights lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued racial discrimination.



Plaintiffs Tiffaney Whitt, on behalf of her minor children, and Jeremiah Parker, Whitt's adult son, filed this action against Kearney School District (Kearney) and Durham School Services, L.P., (Durham) stemming from racial harassment that

Parker and his siblings experienced on a school bus servicing Kearney and operated by Durham. As relevant to this appeal, Plaintiffs alleged a 42 U.S.C. § 1981 claim against Durham. After the district court1 rejected Durham's motion to dismiss and motion for summary judgment challenging the cognizability of Plaintiffs' claim, Durham filed a motion to compel arbitration. The district court denied the motion, concluding that Durham waived its right to enforce the arbitration clause by not raising it earlier in the litigation.
