City Hall will likely pay millions to settle a federal reverse-discrimination suit over blatant de Blasio-era bigotry at the Department of Education.
Judge Mary Kay Viskocil tossed the four plaintiffs’ sex-discrimination claims, but ruled that the racial ones can proceed, as they “offer evidence of a policy of race-based discrimination at [Chancellor Richard] Carranza’s DOE.”
Carranza, and then-Mayor Bill de Blasio, aren’t on the hook for those millions, but city taxpayers are.

Four white former female DOE administrators filed the $90 million lawsuit, claiming Carranza demoted and sidelined them in favor of people of color and charging that the chancellor’s crusade against “toxic” whiteness created a culture of “Us vs. Them.”
They assert that their replacements got picked with just “a tap on the shoulder,” without the positions being advertised and others interviewed.
