High school student who was barred from performing with dance team because she was 'too dark' sues school for discrimination
Camille Sturdivant and another student are the only two African American members on the 'Dazzles' dance team of Blue Valley Northwest High School in Kansas City
A high school student is suing a high school district for discrimination after claims that she was told her skin was 'too dark' for her to perform with the school's dance team.
Camille Sturdivant revealed that she was allegedly barred from taking part in performances at the Blue Valley Northwest High School in Kansas City as her skin tone 'clashed' with the costumes. She was only one of two African American members on the 'Dazzles' dance team which has a total of 14 members.
