The “Affirmative Action Hire”

What is it about?

This is a teaching case about a new principal who wants her school to be inclusive of religious and non-religious belief. When she questions some of the current practices in her school, her leadership is questioned, and her authority is challenged because her identity as a female of color causes others to view her as an "outsider."
