The group’s founder pleaded guilty to wire fraud, signaling the need for greater oversight.

With a guilty plea to wire fraud in a federal courtroom last July, Ruby Corado’s fall from grace reached a new low. Corado was once much celebrated in D.C. as the face of Casa Ruby, a nonprofit that promised safe harbor and social services to transgender-identifying and immigrant Washingtonians. Corado parlayed this role into breathless news coverage, an award from the Human Rights Campaign, and a Georgetown speaking engagement. Hundreds of thousands of vaporized taxpayer dollars later, Corado is the face of a scandal that left staff unpaid, clients stranded, and city officials red-faced.

As our Jorge Bonilla recently observed:

“If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and throws Molotov cocktails at Jews while shouting “Free Palestine” and “End Israel,” it’s a terrorist.

But not so fast, says Juliette Kayyem: it might actually just be a duck!

The former head of the Peel public school board’s anti-discrimination work has sued the board, alleging she was unlawfully fired after years of trying to hold her employer accountable for “resistance” to equity initiatives.

The 41-page statement of claim comes nearly eight years after Poleen Grewal was appointed by the Peel District School Board to advance equity and anti-racism initiatives in its more than 250 schools. The $7.5 million suit alleges in part that the board failed to support those initiatives, sought reprisal against her when she expressed concerns, and ultimately fired her to “appease staff opposed to equity and anti-Black racism” programs.

She sounds like a real piece of work.

“Later that year, Joshua launched a workplace investigation against Grewal after an unnamed trustee and teacher alleged that Grewal had directed staff at her son’s PDSB school to award him high marks without merit. The claim alleges Joshua failed to recuse himself from overseeing the investigation, despite being named as a respondent in the human rights application.”
