No evidence exists to support her claims of insensitivity.
A black teacher at Centennial High School in Ellicott City has filed a $1.5 million federal civil rights lawsuit against the Howard County school system, alleging that a white former school administrator and colleagues made racial comments, retaliated against her when she complained and committed other acts of harassment.
Michelle Maupin – who teaches English at Centennial, where black students and parents have reported racial discrimination in recent years – claims that the problems began soon after she was hired in August 2003 when white parents complained to then-Principal Lynda Mitic about Maupin’s teaching style.
In the complaint, filed last week in U.S. District Court in Baltimore, Maupin states that instead of supporting her, Mitic made racial remarks, including questioning her intelligence because of her race.
