[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Annandale HS band director has claimed he was unjustly terminated from his position due to racism.

Ironically, if a student made such claims there would be a whole reporting process under the new equity policy, but one suspects any such claims by an employee will be met with FCPS’s typical litigation defense.

The guy posted a lot of very narcissistic stuff on Instagram, and he has made a bunch of heavy-handed comments abou[b]t how white parents at Annandale (how many are even left there) are out to get hi[/b]m, but I do feel sorry for teachers who get solid ratings one year only to see their ratings tank the next year when there’s a change in supervisors (Annandale had appointed a new head of student activities). I thought Shawn DeRose was one of those principals who walked on water - which is why Ricardy Anderson and Fabio Zuluaga made sure he was appointed principal of AHS - but he doesn’t seem to have mediated this situated well at all.  And now the usual folks such as Sujatha Hampton of the NAACP are demanding an investigation by FCPS. [/quote]

Ironically, something like that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Any white parent who sees that is going to assume that he's not treating their kid fairly and will report it. If I'm a white parent and my kid gets cut from band, that's the route I'm taking. [/quote]
