A white teacher in New York is claiming in a new lawsuit that she was the victim of reverse-racism when she was ousted for a controversial slavery lesson.
Patricia Cummings was a social studies teacher at Middle School 118 in the Bronx when she allegedly told black students to lie on the floor and stepped on their backs, The New York Daily News reported.
She filed a notice of claim with anticipation of the lawsuit this week, arguing she is owed $120 million in damages because she was the victim of reverse discrimination, defamation and negligence.
"It's a scandal," Cummings' attorney Tom Liotti told the Daily News on Thursday. "There is blatant racism and reverse discrimination in the public schools of New York City. This is why white parents do not want to send their children there."
"It's no longer the blacks and minorities who are being discriminated against," he continued. "It is discrimination against white teachers who are making great sacrifices to be there."
