(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A black ex-DEI director who was fired by her community college in California for not being woke enough filed a lawsuit last week accusing the school of “illegally targeting white people.”
De Anza College, a public community college in the San Jose area, fired Tabia Lee, a tenured faculty member, in March after she said she questioned “antiracist orthodoxy” while she was still working there, the Daily Wire reported.
This led to Lee filing a lawsuit against the college on July 10, saying that a hostile DEI department is “illegally targeting white people on the basis of race.”
The complaint indicated that Lee was accused of “whitesplaining” and not being the “right kind of black person.”
“She happens to be black, but first and foremost, Dr. Lee is a teacher dedicated to humanism and civil rights,” the complaint stated.
“She teaches that people should not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. De Anza is hostile to this concept.”
In a letter to Lee, the community college district told her that the official reasons for why she was fired were a “persistent inability to demonstrate cooperation in working with colleagues and staff,” her “unwillingness to accept constructive criticism” and “no expectation on the part of the Tenure Review Committee… that improvements in these two critical areas can ever be achieved.”
However, Lee exposed the hypocrisy of the woke college by showing that it wasn’t her who was unwilling to “accept constructive criticism.”
“… the way that they behaved was what they claim other people do to marginalized people. They literally marginalized me as an individual, and they shunned me and they worked really hard to push me out,” she said, adding that she was called a “b****” and “dictatorial.”
She also claimed she was accused of being disrespectful to a BLM founder and supporting white supremacy.
Lee then added that the reason why she was treated this way was because she questioned and objected to some of the DEI department’s initiatives.
