Appellants’ amended complaint did not articulate any
theory of disparate treatment. Essential terms such as
“disparate     treatment,”    “motivating    factor,”    and
“discriminatory purpose” do not appear anywhere. Nor are
there allegations of improper animus or any discussion of the
District’s purpose in instituting the policy. Instead, the
complaint reads as a traditional disparate-impact complaint:
it lists demographic statistical disparities among the
Edwards Circle population and describes the
disproportionate harm that the policy allegedly caused.
