Former first lady Michelle Obama's brother and his wife have settled a lawsuit they filed in 2022 against a private school in Milwaukee. The lawsuit alleged that the University School of Milwaukee refused to reenroll their children after the couple raised concerns about racism and inappropriate conduct at the school.

The couple, Craig and Kelly Robinson, claimed that the school terminated their sons' re-enrollment contracts for the 2021-2022 school year following complaints about unfair treatment of students of color and socioeconomically underrepresented students. They also mentioned encountering racial and ethnic stereotypes in assignments while their children were learning virtually at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
