I was told recently that I need not apply to teach at a High School I had been volunteering at, even tho I am credentialed in that field, because 'they wanted teachers who matched the students' racial backgrounds.' I know I matched the WHITE FEMALE students' backgrounds there. I told them I wouldn't apply to work there, if that were the case, if it was the last job on earth. hahah.
They sure missed out on a lot of fun if you are the real Betty Boop.
Did you tell them to speak into the microphone of the tape recorder? I'd go to the nearest media and lawyer with the evidence. Then when they offered the job, tell them no way.
My sister teaches elementary in New Mexico. The guy who won district teacher of the year last year couldn't speak proper English, yet he got a college degree at our expense, and the distinction of teacher of the year for the district. They gave him the award so he could "inspire" students like himself (Hispanics).
