After working at this school for six years, the principal, who is also Hispanic, tells me that he wants to hire a hispanic to take my place, even though I had much more credentials and education than my replacement did. Am I the only one that has experienced this form of reverse discrimination? Am I the only one that thinks it's just wrong to hire someone just because of their ethnicity instead of their credentials. What has gone wrong in a country that allows this kind of think to be the norm? After I was fired from this job, I called up other schools for a job, and they all said that they liked my credentials, but that they had to hire a hispanic because of a quota system the Board of Ed has. I feel so bitter about this. I spent so much time and money to become a highly qualified teacher, and then I can't get a job because I am not of the right ethnicity. I feel so bitter about this. I would have never become a teacher if I had known this sooner.
