The first black teacher hired in more than 25 years at an elementary school in southern New Jersey says she was discriminated against daily and suffered retaliation when she complained, according to a federal lawsuit.
Jackson told Jordan that her white co-workers"don't know what they are doing,""don't know what they're saying" and"don't mean nothing by it," the suit says.
"They are not ready for all of that yet," Jackson said, admonishing Jordan for"thinking too much with the emotional part" of her brain, according to the suit. Days after she reported, she was told that she would be moved from teaching second grade to teaching first grade, the suit says. Her replacement was a white teacher.
"Traditionally, defendants attempted to spread children with behavioral issues among the various classes, thereby avoiding conditions precisely like those forced upon Ms. Jordan," the suit said, alleging that Jordan's student assignments were made in an effort to retaliate against her.
