Follow up on Devon Hodges

The courts have ruled to allow Devon Hodges lawsuit to continue and not be dismissed.  The lawsuit has added on a few names, other then previously posted.  Amongst about a dozen names, Mr. Mitchem and Steve Quigley have been named in the lawsuit for failure to assist a boy from harassment and bullying, and showing nepotism against him to secure scholarships for Mitchems son. 

This is not the first case that will likely be tried in courts, as on one another occasion, an African American boy was taken off the same years academic scholarship list for no good reason by Mitchems assistant, and then Mitchems son received the scholarships. The administration then claimed that boy might have gotten only $300, and offered to pay for that when we exposed the story.

Just to recap for new followers, Devon Hodges suffered immense stalking, humiliation, bullying, and harassment from teachers and school officials because his family moved from Romeoville to Bolingbrook.  Since he was a star athlete in Romeoville, the basketball coaches did not want him to leave.  At one point, the basketball coach had them make nasty signs and tee shirts to attend a game again Bolingbrook, shirts calling his names in reference to his intelligence, amongst many other allegations. 

To add insult to injury, Bolingbrook's team did not want him because that position was already being played by Mr. Mitchem (former principle, now Superintendent) son.  The situation was so compounded that they blocked Devon's ability to show college recruiters what he could do and to gain scholarships.
