Prince George's schools sued for discrimination (black on white, public school union alert)
The Washington Post ^ | 2010-11-23 | Michael Burnbaum

A group of current and former Prince George's County school employees has filed a lawsuit against the school system, alleging that a principal engaged in systematic discrimination against white teachers and the African American teachers and staffers who came to their defense.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt on Monday, alleges that Angelique Simpson Marcus, the principal of Largo High School, has targeted white teachers because of their race, and the African American teachers and employees who stood up for them, since she became principal in 2007. The lawsuit alleges a pattern of name-calling, derogatory language and attempts to transfer or fire employees who displeased her.

(snip)

The lawsuit also names the Prince George's teachers union. The staff members allege that the union employee in charge of defending them against discrimination, Jimalatice Thomas-Gilbert, refused to give several of them the forms to file grievances. They also say she was attempting to recruit the principal to join a home-based direct-selling network that would have benefited Thomas-Gilbert financially.

When I talked to the teacher she told me the black boy’s tale of woe, “druggie mother, raised by grandmother” etc.

DOCUMENT IT. These are Gov't bureacrats. Don't expect them to be rational or intelligent. Send a letter each time it happens. carbon copy the school district supervisor.

Disgusting, but hardly surprising. The corruption in Prince Georges County is so bad, even NPR couldn't ignore it when the county executive was arrested. See:

I actually worked alongside a young, black woman who had a small goatee, and nobody seemed to mind.

My middle son left his private racially-mixed high school at the beginning of 12th grade to go to the local public school because he thought he was missing out on something.

He (over 6ft at the time) was bullied by black GIRLS! They would call him names and physically pushed him. He left the public school within a week to go back to private school.

It was only three years ago that Angelique Simpson-Marcus was managing a gym full of students as a health and physical education teacher at Largo High School.

Now she’s managing the entire school
