Welcome to the Sunday Discussion segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Sunday Discussion will feature a serious topic that needs to be featured and talked about. You can “discuss” it on your own social media networks as comments are banned here on Geek Alabama.

A rural Georgia school district is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and block a racial discrimination lawsuit brought by Dr. Lana Foster, the district’s last Black teacher.

Foster taught in Echols County for more than three decades before being terminated. During litigation, court records revealed school board members exchanged racist texts using racial slurs. Two federal courts have rejected the board’s claims of qualified immunity, and now the nation’s highest court is deciding whether to hear the case.
