Christian Wrestling Coach Settles Religious Discrimination Claim Against Dearborn, MI School
Dearborn, Michigan's Fordson High School has settled a religious discrimination lawsuit filed against it by its former wrestling coach who claimed he was fired because the school's principal, a Muslim, is weeding out Christian teachers, coaches and staff. (See prior posting.) AP reported yesterday that Dearborn Public Schools paid 65-year old wrestling coach Gerald Marszalek $24,500 to settle the religious discrimination claims. Earlier this year it paid him $500 to drop his age discrimination claims.
