Principal Allegedly Called Black Teachers “Nappy-Headed,” “Big Lipped” and “Gorillas” Before Firing Them | breakingbrown.com: A New York City high school principal is in hot water after allegedly using vile and racist language to describe two black teachers before firing them.
Principal Minerva Zanca of Pan American International High School allegedly described two of her black teachers as “nappy-headed”, “big-lipped”, and “gorillas” before firing them. Assistant Principal Anthony Riccardo claims  Zanca said one teachers “looked like a gorilla in a sweater,” according to WNYC.
Activists protested at the New York City Department of Education Headquarters on Monday, demanding an “immediate, rapid an unbiased investigation” by Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott’s office.
