Hispanic principal trying to rid school of Jewish teachers: suit

A Hispanic principal is systematically booting white, Jewish and older teachers from his Midtown high school, current and former staffers allege in lawsuits.

“I think he hates us,’’ Peter Cohn, a former teacher at the HS of Art and Design, said of the school’s principal, Manuel Ureña.

A Manhattan federal suit filed by teacher Todd Young claims Ureña, who is of Dominican heritage, initiated a mass faculty replacement at the school after being appointed principal in 2016.

Young’s suit accuses Ureña of trumping up disciplinary and performance complaints against teachers to clear them out.

“Since Principal Ureña has arrived at the school, he has targeted several Jewish teachers,” the suit says, naming Young and another teacher, Maya Zabar, as targets.

Ureña also “targeted many Caucasian teachers at the school and overwhelmingly hired Hispanic teachers to replace Caucasian teachers.”

In a separate federal case against Ureña, Zabar says the principal failed to provide Jewish teachers time off for Yom Kippur and gave them unjustifiably poor ratings

Thanks. I wanted your take on this.

Re. Yom Kippur, I don’t get it either. I wonder if they weren’t released early the day before so as not to travel after sunset...who knows...

That would be the only way he could interfere. I do not know if the school is on early and late sessions, but that would mean placing Jewish teachers in the late session. What he could have done is called for faculty and/or department meetings on the eve of Yom Kippur to make it difficult to arrive home before sunset. If he did that he is a miserable wretch of a person.

It’s always been ‘perfectly okay’ to hate Jews.
