A teacher of Maryland High School is taking legal action, claiming that he was accused of being racist, when a class dispute over seating assignments was wrong by the school administration.
Principal Shelton L, former health and English teacher and head coach of the Roying Team at Bethesda-Chase High School (B-CC) at Montgomery County. Muni and Montgomery County Public School School filed a case against the board, alleging defamation in their handling and violating school policy in their handling for classes 1 February 2023.
According to the complaint, two students in Angler’s first-period health class asked to sit next to their friends instead of their prescribed seats. Anglar asked the students, citing the importance of using a seating chart to learn the name of the student and avoiding confusion – who are black – to return to their scheduled seats. The students refused and remained where they were.
Later that day, the students reported a conversation with the Assistant Principal, alleging that Angler told him that he would not be able to tell them different from other students, considering it a racial comment.

His lawyer wrote in protest against the proposal of the defendants for a summary decision, “A part of the misunderstanding may stend from an incident in the previous spring in the English class of Angler.” The filing reported that Angler had read a racist slurry by Muhammad Ali, in which some students were angry. Angler apologized, and an investigation determined that it was not a “hate bias incident”. The students involved in the health class had allegedly heard of the English class incident and were not first placed in Angler’s orbit, considering it racist.
Following the students’ reports, Principal Muni was directed by his superiors to follow the “Hate BAS accident” protocol. The next day, he informed Angler that he would be put on administrative leave for a day, while the incident was under investigation.
Two days after the incident, Muni sent a community-wide email to parents, teachers, staff and students, stating that the school had a “hatred bias incident”.
The message stated that “many African American students” were told by a teacher that he was “unable to separate them from other African American students” in the class and was informed to the Montgomery County Police Department as an internal investigation.

“I should be clear, no discrimination should be tolerated,” Muni wrote citing the school policy that “insensitivity, disrespect, prejudice, oral misconduct, oppression, bullying, physical violence or illegal discrimination towards any person.”
Although Angler was not nominated in email, he said he was quickly identified by students, parents and colleagues. He said that he did not make a statement responsible for him in the letter and “did not do anything that could be classified as ‘hatred bias events’ properly.”
The complaint alleged that Anglar, B-CC principal, defendant Shelton L. Muni’s malicious acts destroyed their “reputation, who falsely accused Anglar in a thoughtless, semi-wide community-wide email.”
The lawsuit further claims that the Mooney and the School Board violated the MCPS policies and procedures by sending community-wide emails before a investigation was completed and refused to issue a return or apology.

When Angler returned to work next week, Muni allegedly “refused to discuss the case” Angler. Returning to his class, Angler said he was “disturbed” to find MCPS and B-CC employees in his class “Restorative Justice” circle, which he excluded him from joining.
Angler told Fox News Digital that Anubhav overshadowed her mental health. On the same day, he went on a disability leave for a year and a half before starting teaching in another school in the district.
“I like to teach. I like coaching,” he said. “And I really care about relationships with children and help them to know how to become adults in the best way. To lose children’s faith, children’s trust, what to say about me based on the leadership of children, was disastrous. It was an identity theft.”
According to the complaint, Angler finally did not have any disciplinary action and the investigation of the defendants was allegedly failed to find sufficient evidence that the classroom incident formed the “hatred bias incident”.
“However, Angler had already been disadvantage. Money’s malicious email brands a racist in a racist, which destroyed his reputation in the B-CC community, causing a deep emotional crisis to create a deep emotional crisis, which made it impossible to continue teaching in B-CC, and his situation continued as the head coach of the B-CC Roing Team.
Angler criticized the school incident as “a tremendous opportunity for virtuous signaling”.
“It was really, and I am paying the price,” he told Fox News Digital. Angler said his reputation had been damaged, and the legal battle has spent his family over $ 300,000.
After trying to resolve the dispute through administrative proceedings, Angler filed a case in the Montgomery County Circuit Court in August 2023.
Angler’s case proceeded for testing on Monday.
