Portfolio Assignment 2 Instructions
Teachers’ Rights and Responsibilities
Freddie Watts, principal, and Jimmy Brothers, assistant principal, are African-American administrators assigned to administer a predominantly black high school. Ann Griffin, a white tenured teacher, during a heated conversation with the two administrators stated that she “hated all black folks.” When word leaked on her statement, it caused negative reactions among colleagues both black and white. The principal recommended dismissal based on concerns regarding her ability to treat students fairly and her judgment and competency as a teacher.
Present both sides of the argument. Based on the text and court cases, how do you feel the court will rule in this case? Be sure to list legal references in the support of your responses.
