According to the Washington Post, Angela McCaskill, the Chief Diversity Officer who was suspended in October of last year for signing a petition decrying Maryland’s same sex marriage law, has been reinstated to her position.
The case was controversial because McCaskill – a representative of diversity at a school for the Deaf – signed a petition that many would consider anathema to the very concept. Furthermore, in a press release speech, she thanked Tony Perkins and the Family Resource Council – the former having ties to White Supremacist groups, and the latter being identified as a Hate Group. However, she received thousands of signatures in an online petition asking for her reinstatement.
