Former Virginia administrator sues school board, alleging racial harassment
Fox News
Emily Mais, a former assistant principal in Virginia, is embroiled in a legal battle over what she described to be a racially hostile work environment.
Mais was participating in a training session based on a book called "Courageous Conversations about Race," which Albemarle County School District began using in 2019. The book gives positive and negative characteristics to people based on race and says racism can be committed only by the "dominant race," referring to White people.
"Courageous Conversations" was mentioned explicitly in a February report from Virginia Superintendent of Public Instruction Jill Balow as an example of critical race theory-based curricula in Virginia schools. The report was conducted in response to Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin's first executive orders to review and identify divisive concepts in public schools.
