According to the Washington Post (11/23/2010), "The lawsuit, filed in U.S.
District Court in Greenbelt on Monday, alleges that Angelique Simpson Marcus,
the principal of Largo High School, has targeted white teachers because of their
race, and the African American teachers and employees who stood up for them,
since she became principal in 2007. The lawsuit alleges a pattern of
name-calling, derogatory language and attempts to transfer or fire employees
who displease her."
According to the Gazette (12/9/2010), "A dozen current and former Prince
George's County Public School employees recently filed a multi-million lawsuit in
U.S. District Court against the school system and the Prince George's County
Educator's Association, alleging racial discrimination at work."
According to the Washington Post (8/14/2011), "Representing the plaintiffs in all
16 multimillion-dollar cases is a lawyer who is quickly building a reputation as
the go-to attorney in the county for disaffected school system employees.
Bryan Chapman said he's using the cases to make a larger point about the
Prince George's education system. 'What we're seeing across the board is that
when people have complained about discrimination, they suddenly become
targets of the system,' Chapman said. 'And their supervisors are then doing
things to throw them out.'"

Arlene Moore was a 17 year employee of Patuxent Institution. Ms. Moore is a
breast cancer survivor who was terminated by Patuxent Institution when her
doctor cleared her to return to work.
On September 12, 2011, the U.S. District Court denied the State of Maryland's
motion to dismiss. The court stated, "... Indeed, Ms. Moore was cleared to
return to work just one day after she was allegedly terminated by the State. The
State's motion to dismiss will therefore be denied."
