A white school teacher in New Jersey has settled a discrimination lawsuit with her public school district employer for $45,000 — and a promotion.
The teacher-plaintiff is Renee Marie Irwin, reports New Jersey radio station WKXW.
The main defendant in the lawsuit is the Pleasantville Board of Education in Pleasantville, a town of 20,755 people just west of Atlantic City.
Irwin, who began her Pleasantville teaching career in 1997, claimed that school district officials passed over her application to become an assistant principal for at least a decade, giving the position to “less qualified African-American teacher(s)” instead.

Should have been 45 million.
I'll bet the less qualified part wasn't hard to prove.
Shows what you get and what it costs to favour diversity over quality!
Good for her. Now she and others like her, now know how it feels when blacks have been discriminated against, being qualified and passed over for favoritism.
This will never see the light of day in mainstream media. It doesn't have any "if it bleeds it leads" feel to it.
Its cutting room floor dirt!
Its not reverse discrimination. Its simply discrimination.
Stop playing the PC game.
I agree, discrimination is discrimination, whether it's reverse, forward, upside down or whatever. So sick of people like you trying to find fault in a few words. Obviously, you have never had the misfortune of being discriminated against. When you get a chance, please read the book "Black Like Me," by John Howard Griffin.
