New York Settles Suit With White Female Educators for $2.1 Million

The complaint said all three women were abruptly removed from their roles, with their non-white replacements getting the jobs after a ’tap on the shoulder.’

New York City will pay more than $2 million in settlement with three white women who sued the city’s education department for allegedly demoting them in favor of “less-qualified people of color.”

The three senior education officials—Lois Herrera, Jaye Murray, and Laura Feijoo, will each receive $700,000, reported the New York Post.
