Former Massachusetts superintendent alleges he was fired because he’s gay
The Patriot Ledger earlier this week that the firing stemmed from text messages Devine exchanges with a 21-year-old former student who lived in Florida. The communication was initiated by the former student — a fact the school district has not contested, as noted in the lawsuit.According to The Associated Press, there was never evidence that the communication between the two was inappropriate, not that Devine violated school policy regarding staff and student communication, as the school committee alleged when it fired him last year.
