Two Marist High School seniors claim they were “used as scapegoats” by administrators who expelled them from the Far Southwest Side school for being part of a racist group text message conversation that sparked protest and tension last month in the Mount Greenwood neighborhood.
The white teenagers were among 32 girls included in the conversation that started after they met at a September religious retreat where they were promised that anything they said “would be strictly confidential,” according to a lawsuit filed anonymously Monday in Cook County Circuit Court by the girls’ fathers.
