A former DEI manager at the University of Minnesota is suing the school for letting her go after she posted a photo that appeared to show her posing near an Israeli flag littered with swastikas, according to the Star Tribune.
Mashal Sherzad accused the institution of violating her First Amendment rights as well as discriminating against her, according to a filing this week.
As a result, Sherzad is seeking $75,000 in damages and wants to be reinstated at the university.
