NY Post (July 15, 2023):
Failing the New York State teachers' exam really paid off—especially for a Queens man who learned this month he's getting a $2 million windfall over it.
Roughly 5,200 black and Hispanic ex-Big Apple teachers and once-aspiring educators are expected to collect more than $1.8 billion in judgments after the city stopped fighting a nearly three-decade federal discrimination lawsuit that found a certification exam was biased.
It's the largest legal payout in city history.
…Court rulings found the exam violated civil-rights laws, allowing far more white candidates to pass.
