[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 about how white parents at Annandale (how many are even left there) are out to get him, 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]

The “racism!” card has been so played at every opportunity over recent years, that it no longer attracts the serious attention that it sometimes deserves.

It’s absolutely laughable how privileged people love to tell victims of racism when to identify racism. Instead of racism card being overplayed, bigots are failing to camouflage their racism. One can’t see racism of one hasn’t experienced racism. And if that’s the case, YOU SHOULD KEEP QUIET…….Disrespectfully!!!!
