Jurors find that race was a factor in a white woman's loss of her job as an assistant school principal in Kansas City.

The Jackson County Circuit Court jury awarded Sue Gorker $31,000 in compensatory damages from the Kansas City School District.

The 51-year-old Gorker had been a vice principal at the Paul Robeson Middle School when her contract was not renewed after the 2002-2003 school year. The suit she filed in January 2004 described a hostile work environment and alleged that a black supervising principal treated her differently than colleagues.

The district's lawyer denied that Gorker's job change was influenced by her race and said the verdict may be appealed.

2. There is a whole lot more to this story

and I don't think racial discrimination was really a factor here. Bottom line is this adminstrator was an idiot.
