Both children and teachers complain that the school is disorderly.
Several teachers complained that Principal Patricia Catania, who is white, created a hostile work environment for African-American teachers, according to the New York Daily News. An English teacher said the principal reprimanded her for teaching about the Harlem Renaissance, the Daily News said.
