A school district in St. Paul, Minnesota settles a lawsuit accusing the district of retaliating and forcing a black teacher to quit because he criticized its racial equity policy.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — St. Paul Public Schools has agreed to pay a black teacher $525,000 to settle a 2017 whistleblower lawsuit that accused the district of retaliating and forcing him to quit because he criticized its racial equity policy.
Talking at a school board meeting, Benner said the policy was"crippling our black children by not holding them to the same expectations as other students." U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson ruled in May that the case could go to trial after concluding that a sensible juror might agree that Benner, 50, was forced to quit. The school board approved the $525,000 payout Tuesday before Benner's scheduled trial next month.

The Revoluntary Black Women of SaubaraThe shrieking sliced through the cloudy night and drowned out the music blasting from a speaker nearby. It was 9 p.m. in Saubara, a town of about 12,000 people in Brazil’s northeastern state of Bahia. Although the party wouldn’t officially start until 3 a.m., crowds were already outside waiting in anticipation. It was July 2nd, the last day of celebrations marking Bahia’s independence from Portugal in 1823. The festivities began the day before with samba and beer followed by street parties and fireworks at night. Today, however, the partygoers had come to see the women in white, who were shrieking and dashing through the streets in pairs, eagerly awaiting the late hour. “Olha o mingau! Look at the porridge!” the women repeated, between intermittent screams. Their yells were high-pitched and eerie, out of place in this picturesque town known for its fisherwomen, rendeiras (lacemakers) and basket weavers. The shrieking women in white, whose festa would start when most ended, are Saubara’s “Caretas do Mingau” (Masks of Porridge) and theirs is a history of subversive resistance, cunning, and heroism. It started—as many revolutions do—when a group of black women came up with a plan of action.
