NORWALK, Conn. The trial in the lawsuit filed by Bruce Morris against Norwalk Public Schools and the City of Norwalk has been pushed to next year.
Morris, former Norwalk Public Schools Human Relations Officer, has accused NPS of discrimination and retaliation against him in the elimination of his position. The lawsuit was filed in mid-2017.
Morris’s attorney Daniel Angelone has argued that evidence shows racist and discriminatory attitudes towards Morris and other black Norwalkers. Angelone cited emails in which then-BoE Chairman Mike Lyons called Morris a “snake” who needs to be eliminated, after building a strong case so as to “avoid a race war.”
