Dugan v. Bowser

Summary

Summary

Former public school administrator Emily Mais filed a lawsuit against the Albemarle County School Board for creating a racially hostile work environment that forced her to leave her job. School officials severely harassed and discriminated against Mais, who served as the assistant principal at Agnor-Hurt Elementary School, when she raised concerns about a mandatory “anti-racism” teacher training that advocated for differential treatment based on race.
