Dr. Omar Easy claimed that white administrators refused to participate in activities he organized during leadership retreats and said the school committee refused to punish a white administrator who had shown racist behavior toward a Black administrator.
Dr. Omar Easy, the ousted superintendent of Wayland Public Schools, filed the complaint
The former football player says he became the first person of color to helm Wayland Public Schools in February 2021. All members of the school board are white. In December 2021, Easy said the Wayland school committee ignored his requests for something to be done about racist graffiti that had been plastered on the walls of a district middle school, reading “[N****R],” “BLACK PEOPLE DIE,” and “ALL BLACK PEOPLE NEED TO LEAVE THE DISTRICT NOW.”
“This is not the first time explicitly racist behavior has targeted me, Black employees, and Black students in Wayland,” Easy claimed in the complaint. “Such behavior has been the apex of a hostile work environment fostered and stoked by the Wayland School Committee.” In January 2023, the superintendent expressed concerns about the alleged racially hostile work environment, saying “not-so-subtle attacks…[had] gotten more and more emboldened.” He said the school committee investigated him for misconduct, but the district’s attorney didn’t find any wrongdoing. Instead of publicizing the matter, Easy claimed the school committee hid that information and tried to find other methods to oust him.
