PATERSON, N.J. – A New Jersey elementary teacher is suing the Paterson school district after she claims she was passed over for promotions dozens of times because she’s white.

Sherri Rothstein contends she was “passed over for less qualified, or not qualified at all, candidates” for vice principal and supervisor positions more than 30 times since she started teaching fourth through seventh graders at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. School in 2005, North Jersey reports.

Rothstein filed her lawsuit in Bergen County Superior Court June 29, after she alleges school officials transferred her to another school in the middle of the 2016-17 school year.

The teacher claims she obtained a supervisor’s certification in 2010 and a principal’s certification in 2011, but was repeatedly passed over for promotion in favor of black and Latino candidates.

“In January, Rothstein said she was transferred to a different school, which the lawsuit does not name,” according to the news site. “She said she met with the district’s human resources staff in January to discuss the ‘mid-year transfer’ as well as ‘failure to promote over less qualified individuals as a result of her race.’”

Rothstein also filed a formal complaint with Paterson schools’ Affirmative Action Office in February, but an “inadequate two-day investigation” found her claims ‘unfounded,’” the lawsuit alleges.

It’s certainly not the first time Paterson schools have been sued by a white teacher claiming discrimination.

Paterson High School teacher Noreen Sweeney sued the district last year for more than $1 million after she alleges district officials discriminated against her because she’s a white lesbian, EAGnews reported previously.

In that case, Sweeney claimed she was banished to a “rubber room” – a holding area for teachers accused of misdeeds that school officials cannot fire because of union contract rules – in 2014, though black teachers who committed more egregious offenses received lesser punishments, according to North Jersey.

“Sweeney … claimed that school officials transferred several white staffers to other schools and have been the subject of other discrimination lawsuits,” the news site reported last year. “She also said that an African-American employee who was accused of taking inappropriate selfies with students was once investigated and alter returned to work, without being banished to the ‘rubber room’ or enduring similar humiliation that Sweeney suffered.”

The lawsuit alleged Sweeney wasn’t initial given a reason for her transfer, which lasted until 2016, but later learned it stemmed from comments she allegedly made about a vice principal at her school.

The complaint against her alleged Sweeney described vice principal Amod Field as overpaid, and cited an incident of Field manhandling a female student, though Sweeney denied she made the comments.

In both Sweeney’s and Rothstein’s cases, Paterson officials have refused to comment.
