Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Dever partially grants a school board’s motion to dismiss allegations of civil rights violations brought by a former assistant principal. The assistant principal, a white man, argues that he was subject to systematic racial harassment and race and sex discrimination, specifically by the school’s superintendent, as evidenced by things like not promoting him and not providing him functioning equipment when testing students. The assistant principal’s retaliation claims against the board and superintendent survive as he was able to prove he engaged in protected activity and leave just before he was suspended without pay, then fired. However, his discrimination claims fail because his comparisons of treatment between himself and Black employees were not sufficient.
