Preferential Firing

Racism loses again:
According to the lawsuit, Carranza threatened the job of any "Caucasian DOE employees" who dared to question his "equity platform." "Get on board ... or leave," he allegedly warned them. In sworn depositions in connection with the lawsuit, both Carranza and de Blasio admitted that they wanted to create a DOE that "looked like New York City," the Post reported. Carranza resigned from his position in February 2021, and de Blasio was term-limited out of office the following December. Three months ago, a judge ruled that the lawsuit showed "evidence of race-based discrimination in Carranza’s DOE," and a trial had been set for June. Rather than proceed with the trial, the city elected to reach a settlement with the plaintiffs. Hererra, Murray, and Feijoo will now each receive $700,000. Their lawyer, Davida Perry, called the settlement "a resounding affirmation that discrimination of any form should not be tolerated in educational institutions, regardless of the race of those negatively impacted." She also claimed her clients "feel justified and vindicated."
Skin color still shouldn't matter...
