WLBT 3 - Jackson, MS: Fired Head of Deaf-School Files EEOC Complaint
The recently fired principal of the Mississippi School for the Deaf has filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Pamela Hervey claims she was wrongfully terminated based on race. In a press release, Hervey's attorney states Hervey is also distressed at the manner in which Hank Bounds, superintendent for the board of education, fired her without an opportunity to defend herself against "accusations of misconduct."
Hervey was fired along with the school superintendent, Doctor Delores Mack Smith, only days after a late November protest by students. They were concerned that some of their teachers were not proficient in sign language.
