Dominican Principal Hating on White Teachers

New York City is the melting pot. It is a city known for its diversity. As the decades change, we see new people come in. For many years, non-Hispanic whites had control of public schools. Eventually, African Americans took the helm, and then Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, and now Dominicans. 

This is of course due to the opportunities and promises of great salaries and teaching programs.  With these new changes in demographics, there is hope for new experiences and inclusivity.  Well, unfortunately, this is not always the case. The nightmare of many non-Hispanic whites has come to a reality. Some non-Hispanic whites feel they will be oppressed or pushed aside with the onset of minorities taking jobs they once held control of. 

According to reports, a Dominican principal in Washington Heights is being accused of just that. Paula Lev, the principal of the High School for Law and Public Service is being accused of discrimination against staff, particularly those who are non-Hispanic white. The faculty at the school filed a no-confidence complaint to the Board of Education regarding her and even a student started a petition complaining about the conditions of the school under her leadership. The student claims there are numerous fights at the school and behavior problems that go unaddressed by the administration.
