A small Kansas community college tried to get rid of its Black student-athletes, lawsuit charges

The president of Highland Community College compared a Black football player to Hitler, whom she praised as “a great leader.”
An explosive lawsuit alleging a small Kansas community college sought to reduce the number of its African American student-athletes follows disclosures that the president of the school compared a Black football player to Hitler, whom she praised as “a great leader.”

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Kansas City, Kansas, last week, says that Highland Community College in northeast Kansas conducted a concerted campaign to discourage African Americans from attending the school, intimidated Black student-athletes into leaving and told its coaching staff to refrain from recruiting African Americans.
