White teacher wins $350,000 in Prince George’s schools bias lawsuit
Washington Post | 8/8/2014 | Ovetta Wiggins

Posted on 08/10/2014 5:25:15 AM PDT by markomalley

A former Prince George’s County teacher won a $350,000 jury award after accusing the school system of discriminating against him because he is white.

Jon Everhart alleged in his lawsuit against the Prince George’s County school board that a black principal forced him out of his job because of his race.

“Justice was served,” Everhart said. “I do feel as though I have been vindicated.”

Everhart, 65, speaking by phone from Ohio after the verdict in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, said he faced years of racial harassment from the Largo High School principal, who he said repeatedly told staffers and students that she planned to fire him.

“She called me ‘poor white trash’ and ‘white b----,’ ” Everhart said of the principal, Angelique Simpson-Marcus, who leads the 1,100-student school in Upper Marlboro. “Her behavior was so outlandish.”

Keep your powder dry. It is almost an iron clad guarantee that you will need it.

Oh, how charming! Who could have imagined that the hyphenating of one's surname did not automatically set the noblesse oblige switch to the "on" position?

I was out walking Friday and passed two black women, I always smile and say “Hi” to walkers and bike riders I pass on the trail. One of them looked at her friend, the other one glared at me. When I was walking back I passed the first one walking alone. I smiled at her and she smiled back. Little things. I keep smiling.

The schools are full of these anti white, anti conservative racists teaching your children. What do you think they learn and who do you think they will vote for?

A dirtly little secret that most of the public is not aware of (because the media won’t report on it) is that contractors often do the work that federal gubmint employees should be doing. The taxpayer essentially pays twice for the same “job” as many of the paper pushers can’t, won’t, or don’t know how to get the work done. And the more work the contactors do, the more the government relies on them. Of course, its a condition that the gubmint employees are quite comfortable with.

And you’re right; the gubmint types do feel superior because they view their role as “managing” contractors. This gives them a sense of power and also provides them with a convenient scape goat when things go wrong, as they often do.

The gubmint is so corrupt that nodoby even notices it anymore.

Prince George County is the wealthiest black county, per household income, in the United States.

And that still doesn't stop it from having 20% of the homicides in the state of Maryland, despite having a 2008 median family income of $81,908. The county is 64% black.

Unfortunately, the black principal who is a racist degenerate neither got fired nor has to pay the $350,000 personally. PG county is a morass of racists...both GibMeDats and government "workers". maryland is THE Freak state. Escape while you can. It is hopeless there.

and yet the jury didn’t find there was a hostile work condition. HUH?????

She says she doesn’t use that kind of language. Sure you don’t. The jury just took his word for it. No corroborating evidence here, of course not.

they know they are working workfare jobs, and they know they only have them as tokens. That eats them up inside...

The worst are the ones who are delusional enough to believe they are competent while constantly being quietly bailed out by their fellow employees.

And Donna Edwards, a communist in Democrat clothing, as their congress critter. And she has espoused her communist beliefs in public. An African-American Dem ran against her in the last two primaries and lost both times

And don’t forget Jack Johnson, county exec and former sheriff, who was convicted of bribery. When his wife was arrested, she had tens of thousands of dollarars stuffed into her bra and panties, and had been busy trying to flush bribe checks down the toilet.

I don’t think it eats them up inside. I think they feel entitled to their cushy, well-paying jobs. And of course they still resent whites. At least that’s the attitude of every one I’ve spoken to.
