In May 2020 a 15-year-old Black sophomore from Beverly Hills, Michigan was incarcerated at a juvenile detention center for failure to complete her homework during virtual school. The teenager, referred to as Grace to conceal her identity, had been on probation for previous charges for theft and assault at the time of sentencing. Advocates and her defense team argued that she was not receiving the accommodations required by her Individualized Education Program (IEP) for her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) after her classes moved online due to coronavirus. Advocates also called the ruling evidence of systemic racism in the county's juvenile justice system.

dbo:abstract
  • In May 2020 a 15-year-old Black sophomore from Beverly Hills, Michigan was incarcerated at a juvenile detention center for failure to complete her homework during virtual school. The teenager, referred to as Grace to conceal her identity, had been on probation for previous charges for theft and assault at the time of sentencing. Advocates and her defense team argued that she was not receiving the accommodations required by her Individualized Education Program (IEP) for her attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) after her classes moved online due to coronavirus. Advocates also called the ruling evidence of systemic racism in the county's juvenile justice system. Protests, an online petition, and public officials advocating for her release followed after a July 2020 Propublica article went viral under the hashtag #FreeGrace. The Michigan Court of Appeals granted her request for release in July 2020, after 78 days of incarceration. (en)
