A former assistant principal at a Virginia elementary school has sued her former employer for allegedly maintaining a hostile work environment and subjecting her to racially charged harassment.

Emily Mais, a former employee at Agnor-Hurt Elementary School in Albemarle County, Virginia, filed a lawsuit against the school district Thursday, accusing it of maintaining a racially hostile work environment against her after she expressed reservations regarding a series of teacher development training programs that incorporated critical race theory.

The lawsuit was filed Thursday on Mais's behalf by the conservative legal group the Alliance Defending Freedom (snip)

The complaint details how in November 2020, the school district implemented a mandatory staff training to comply with an "anti-racism policy" that called for subjecting different groups to different treatment to achieve "equity."(snip)

The lawsuit further says it was "suggested that anyone opposed to their policy was a 'racist' and should consider finding a different job."

The training and subsequent programs throughout the spring of 2021 were not well-received by several school employees, who, according to the lawsuit, complained to Mais that the programs were contributing to a "racially hostile environment."

"Schools should be treating students equally, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or religion, and teachers should be able to advocate for policies that protect students and object when they see policies that are not protecting students," Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel Kate Anderson told the Washington Examiner in an interview.

Anderson, who serves as director of ADF's center for parental rights, said that the district's policy was "telling teachers that you need to view your white students as racist" and that teachers were being told to teach, grade, and discipline their students "based on the color of their skin alone."

teachers were being told to teach, grade, and discipline their students "based on the color of their skin alone."

That's the vary definition of racism.

Every victim of employer/state-sponsored wokeness needs to sue until it becomes too expensive to enforce the policies involved.
