White Teachers Win $2.1 MILLION in Discrimination Suit Against NYC Education Department​

In a landmark decision that underscores the perils of identity politics infiltrating educational policy, a group of white educators has emerged victorious in a discrimination lawsuit against the New York City Department of Education, securing a $2.1 million settlement.

This outcome not only represents a significant financial repercussion for the city but also serves as a potent reminder of the enduring importance of merit and equality before the law—a principle deeply rooted in conservative values.


The case revolved around allegations that three white, female educators were subjected to discriminatory practices due to an initiative that ostensibly aimed to address “toxic whiteness.”

These educators contended that their careers suffered as they were marginalized and ultimately pushed out of their roles within the Community School District 1 on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

The plaintiffs included Lois Herrera, who served as CEO of the Office of Safety and Youth Development; Jaye Murray, former executive director of the Office of Counseling Support Programs; and Laura Feijoo, who was a senior superintendent.

Their lawsuit claimed that they were demoted in favor of less qualified individuals from minority backgrounds as part of Chancellor Richard Carranza’s agenda to combat what he perceived as entrenched racial hierarchies within the school system. The plaintiffs’ attorney, Davida S. Perry, stated emphatically: “Our clients are highly regarded in their field and were clearly discriminated against because they are white.”

This narrative taps into broader concerns among conservatives regarding affirmative action policies and diversity initiatives that may overstep into reverse discrimination territory. It raises questions about whether such programs can inadvertently create new forms of inequality by prioritizing race or ethnicity over competence and experience.

The settlement is particularly noteworthy given New York City’s status as one of America’s most prominent urban centers—a place where educational policy decisions often set precedents for other districts across the nation. The city agreed to pay $2.1 million without admitting any wrongdoing; however, this substantial sum speaks volumes about the gravity with which these allegations were taken.

The implications are far-reaching: it suggests an acknowledgment that even well-intentioned efforts to address historical injustices must be carefully balanced against constitutional guarantees of equal treatment under the law. This balance is something conservatives have long advocated for—arguing for an approach to civil rights that ensures fairness for all individuals regardless of their background.

Details from The Epoch Times reveal how this case unfolded amidst a backdrop where Chancellor Carranza had openly criticized “white supremacy culture” within schools. His tenure was marked by controversial training sessions for administrators, including one titled “White Supremacy Culture,” which posited characteristics such as individualism and objectivity as perpetuating racial oppression.

Such rhetoric has been met with skepticism from conservative circles, which often view it as divisive and counterproductive to fostering genuine unity and progress in society. Critics argue that framing traditional American values like individualism in negative terms could undermine societal cohesion rather than strengthen it.

The New York Post reported on reactions from city officials, with Councilman Joe Borelli stating: “This settlement should be a wake-up call for those who think anti-white racism isn’t real or think it’s acceptable.” This sentiment echoes concerns among conservatives about what they perceive as double standards in discussions surrounding race relations—where racism is universally condemned unless directed at certain groups deemed privileged by progressive narratives.

Moreover, this case highlights potential pitfalls when public institutions adopt ideologies without fully considering their legal ramifications or impact on personnel dynamics. It serves as a cautionary tale about how attempts at social engineering through bureaucratic means can lead to unintended consequences—including costly legal battles funded by taxpayers’ dollars.

As this story unfolds further into public discourse, it will undoubtedly fuel ongoing debates about diversity training programs and their place within public education systems. It will also likely prompt introspection among policymakers regarding how best to pursue equity without infringing upon individual rights or creating environments where certain demographics feel targeted or excluded based on immutable characteristics.

While no definitive conclusions have been drawn from this incident—legal settlements being inherently complex—it stands out as an emblematic instance where conservative principles concerning fairness and meritocracy have found resonance within judicial outcomes. As society continues navigating these turbulent waters surrounding identity politics in education (and beyond), cases like this will remain at the forefront—serving both as cautionary tales and potential catalysts for policy reevaluation.

Sounds like they did an out of court settlement and it does not fix the problem and asking for $3 million or more would have provided each of them with a million each and enough to live out most of the lives as finding work in education will be near imposable.

Too bad the color of law violations by individuals never hits them in their pocketbooks.

In this case the individuals who made these edicts did so outside of the legal limits of their authorities and should be held personally responsible for the debt incurred.

Once upon a time color of law violations were enforced that way, but that changed as the politicians took more control and appointed judges that protected the entitled classes.

I agree 100 percent. The individuals who enact and enforce these policies should be singled out and sued into oblivion for deprivation of rights/color of law violations. The education department won’t miss a dime anyway. All of these these law suits are paid out by insurance companies

“…may overstep onto reverse discrimination…inadvertently?” Wow, you think so? :rolleyes:

No, 2.1 million isn't a substantial sum to a massive school board…besides, how much will each lady get AFTER attorney’s fees?

No wrong doing admitted? …so no heads will roll…the school board decided to throw some money at the ‘situation’ to make it go away… this will continue to happen until and unless the people that institute such crap get a painful, life altering lesson.

Alan Bakke case comes to mind.


Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 265 (1978), was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that involved a dispute of whether preferential treatment for minorities could reduce educational opportunities for whites without violating the Constitution. It upheld affirmative action, allowing race to be one of several factors in college admission policy. However, the court ruled that specific racial quotas, such as the 16 out of 100 seats set aside for minority students by the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, were impermissible.

Two things came out of the Bakke decision. Mentioned above disparate treatment COULD occur. Another that "discrimination" cases are to be decided on a case by case/court by court basis. Evidence of discrimination thus is not proof of discrimination. And each case has to prove its merit in court and to the legal process.

In the OP case, the plaintiffs probably proved generalized "agenda" to prevent whites from occupying positions - which would be indefensible - so the NYC School District "folded."

And yes the taxpayers or insurance company foots the bill, but really they need to stick it to administrations that screw with people.

What's the point if you settle? Money and harassment stops, probably.

If your going to make a suit like this one, please do it for the principle of the whole matter. Not because your feelings got hurt. Nothing changes or is solved by bringing this law suit and then folding when the checkbook comes out.

This isn't life changing money. After taxes and attorneys fees? Come on...

As a country, we need to learn to punish crime.
Punishment is not an Insurance Company cutting a check to someone. It is a perpetrator going to jail.
