Feds sue Chicago schools over pregnancy bias against teachers

The Justice Department said on Tuesday that it has filed a lawsuit against the Chicago Board of Education, alleging that the board discriminated against pregnant teachers at an elementary school. Filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the lawsuit states that starting 2009, teachers at Scammon Elementary School were subjected to adverse personnel actions, including termination in some instances, after they announced their pregnancies.
