Judge dismisses several claims in Ann Arbor school principal’s lawsuit Updated Feb 23, 2021; Facebook Share ANN ARBOR, MI - Claims that an Ann Arbor Public Schools principal’s placement on leave was racially discriminatory have been dismissed from a lawsuit filed against the district and several of its administrators. Judge Davis, however, did not dismiss Blick’s claim alleging violation of her First Amendment right to free speech, petition and assembly against the district and the lawsuit’s defendants. Blick, who is white, ultimately failed to provide sufficient facts to show she suffered an adverse employment action, Davis said in her ruling.
