Michelle Obama's brother and S.I.L. have filed a lawsuit against kids' former school.

"We cannot continue a relationship with your family," is what part of the enrollment termination letter read, sent at the end of last school year.

The students, at the time 11 and 9, were effectively removed.

"We feel like they were retaliated against because we brought up some issues that were sensitive to the administration," Craig Robinson told CNN. Robinson is former first lady Michelle Obama's brother.

He said it started with giving the school feedback on teaching practices he and his wife believed were troubling, especially during the virtual learning period last year.

"The first thing we noticed was a repeated use of racial and ethnic stereotypes in actual classroom assignments," Robinson said.
