From MSNBC: TUKWILA, Wash. — Nine employees of the Tukwila School District have filed complaints of racial discrimination against their superintendent, Ethelda Burke.

Their attorney filed the complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

They each have a story about the comments they’ve endured. They range from vice principals, to teachers, to dispatchers.

“She said to me you have to stop being a big, black man scaring our white drivers,” says Doc Fells, driver trainer and dispatcher for the district. “And it numbed me.”
