A white teacher who said he suffered years of race-based abuse from his black boss at a Maryland High School was awarded $350,000 this month after he sued the school system for racial bias.
Former Prince George's County teacher Jon Everhart claimed that the principal at Largo High School repeatedly called him racist names and constantly told him and others she intended to fire him because he is white.
"She called me 'poor white trash' and 'white b----,' ” Everhart, 65, said of Largo principal Angelique Simpson-Marcus. "Her behavior was so outlandish."
The teacher sued citing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which "prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance."
Everhart's attorney, Bryan Chapman, successfully argued that Title VI applied because the school received federal stimulus money in 2008.

What is most surprising about this story is a white man won in PG county. Shocking.
One out of a thousand.
Hilarious!
The race baiting backfired on those it was meant to protect.
This is happening in Wicomico county. I teach here and I see it. Can't give my name because it would happen to me. Its all going downhill fast.
should have got 1 million
Would that apply to turning down finalists for a promotion when they are not of the race being sought?
Racism is racism.
