... that the case of Adelia Silva, an Afro-Uruguayan teacher who was removed from three different schools due to her race, generated national attention and disciplinary action against one of the principals? Source: "Upon Sosa's arrival at the school, Principal Ofelia Ferretjans de Ugartemendia ... pressured Sosa to transfer to yet another school. ... When Sosa arrived at her third assignment, Principal Irene Castro de Mandado greeted her with the fretful declaration that 'you're only going to create problems for me' because, upon seeing a black woman teaching at the school, parents would withdraw their children immediately. ... she concluded that the problem was not in fact 'personal' and that she had been the target of racial discrimination. ... the Sosa incident received extensive national attention. ... Ugartemendia was fined six months' half salary and transferred to another school". (Blackness in the White Nation)
