White Teachers Sue Philadelphia School, Charge Race Bias

Over at SBPH, in a post about fire department tests, they write:

You can have standards that one must aspire to achieve or you can have diversity. You can have a nation where merit matters or you can have diversity. You can have communities, companies and associations built upon trust and with a unified vision or you can have diversity, which is anathema to the concept of team-building.

The same can be said for any place where “diversity” is mandated at the expense of quality and merit regardless of race. To include, apparently, the public schools of Philadelphia:

Four white Philadelphia teachers filed federal race-bias lawsuits that accuse a black principal of creating a hostile work environment and suggesting they were unfit to teach black children.

The teachers work at a predominantly black elementary school that has a recent history of racial tension. Their lawsuits say that a former principal had them read an article that said “white teachers do not have the ability to teach African-American students.”

The teachers also allege that the principal, Charles Ray III, and others undermined their work by reprimanding them, randomly changing their room assignments and letting black teachers ignore rules that their white counterparts had to follow. Ray also retaliated when they filed union grievances, they said.
