Three white female Department of Education employees may receive a settlement of more than$ 2 million from the city of New York because they are accused of being replaced by “less-qualified people of color.”
Lois Herrera, Jaye Murray and Laura Feijoo each did get$ 700, 000, the New York Post reports.
The three have waited five decades for a solution to their complaints, which included past Chancellor Richard Carranza’s campaign against thus- called” dangerous whiteness”.
Herrera, owner of a mentor degree from Harvard, claimed one of Carranza’s delegates” stripped” her of her Office of Safety and Youth Development CEO headline and replaced her with Mark Rampersant, who’s black and has a GED.
Murray was given a statement to Rampersant after being removed from her place as the executive director of the Office of Counseling Support Programs.
Feijoo, who again was in charge of 46 NYC Dept. of Education supervisors, was replaced with a dark woman who at the moment “lacked the required NY licensing”.
According to the lawsuit, all three women’s roles were n’t also marketed as vacant, nor were applicants interviewed for them.
In affidavits, both Carranza and past NYC president Bill De Blasio said they “wanted to get the most eligible candidates, but likewise people who” looked like New York City.”

Five years ago, The College Fix reported on” white women managers “in the NYC DOE who had planned to sue over the agency’s” animosity toward whites” and Carranza’s” sweeping reform “which” pushed off” Men. Carranza informed white employees that they must give up power or lose responsibilities no matter how well they have performed, according to sources who had told the , Post then.
In October of 2019, another white ( and female ) DOE employee who, ironically, was in charge of making sure more minority students got into Advanced Placement classes, sued for race discrimination after being accused, among other things, of” refusing to acknowledge her own white supremacy]and ] racism.”
She also had to endure Glenn Singleton‘s race trainings, and was told by a colleague to” study” Robin DiAngelo‘s book” White Fragility.”
In the recent settlement, the DOE admitted no wrongdoing and insisted the women’s charges” lack merit. The DOE and City are fully committed to fair and inclusive employment practices, according to a spokesman for its law department.
