The former vice president of the San Francisco School Board launched a lawsuit against the school district and five colleagues Wednesday, alleging they violated her freedom of speech, according to a report.
Collins now seeks $12 million in damages from the school district, along with $3 million in punitive damages from each of the five members who voted for her removal from office, first reported the San Francisco Chronicle. The former school board vice president’s tweets -- which condemned the Asian community as benefitting from white supremacy and using it to "get ahead" -- caused widespread indignation.More Related News
