A Colorado student says his name appeared under ‘slave auction’ graffiti in a school restroom, and then he sued the school: ‘Blacks for sale’

A federal civil rights case is now pending against Addenbrooke Classical Academy in Lakewood, Colorado, after a former student said racial harassment at the public charter school went unanswered, according to Atlanta Black Star. Jaylen Davis was 16 and a sophomore in 2025 when, according to his complaint in U.S. District Court in Colorado, white classmates began targeting him because of his race.

Davis says the situation later reached a boys’ restroom wall, where his name appeared under graffiti that included “slave auction” and “Blacks for sale.” He and his mother, Jozette, reportedly decided he would not come back for his junior year. He is 18 now and has asked for a jury trial.
