MONROEVILLE, Pa. — A woman is suing the Gateway School District, claiming her interracial marriage cost her a job. A school board member is accused of calling her husband a racial slur in a text message.
The text message came from board member Paul Caliari.
Local NAACP officials said Caliari should resign and the Gateway School District needs to step up.
“It is absolutely tragic that they have leaders who sit in positions in high places that have the mindset to embrace such a racist trope,” said NAACP state president Kenneth Huston.
Caliari doubled down on his innocence. He said he apologized for the confusion.
