Democratic County Legislator Carmen Gamina Is Being Sued For Violating the Pregnancy Discrimination Act!
Democratic County Legislator Carmen Gamina, Principal of the State Road Elementary School and Monroe County Legislator, has been named in a lawsuit by a female teacher. The teacher claims Gamina violated the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1975 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
According to the Messenger Post Papers:
In the suit, Heaphy said the district acted inappropriately when the school’s principal, Carmen Gumina, asked if she was pregnant in September 2006. The lawsuit alleges district officials acted against Heaphy afterward.
Because the case is a personnel matter with litigation pending, Superintendent Adele Bovard declined to comment.
Under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1975, it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth or any related medical conditions, according to the suit.
It also states Heaphy was subject to increased scrutiny, written warnings, threats and was deprived of a promotion.
According to the suit, the district acted against the human rights law because the law prohibits retaliation in the workplace. And the suit claims the district violated the Civil Rights Act by discriminating against Heaphy.
I know anyone can be sued but this is pretty big. Harassing pregnant women — that’s incredible for a school principal. Why didn’t this come out in the campaign when he ram for County Legislature last year?
I’m sure the Democrats will come up with a reason why this isn’t a big deal — they always do when one of their own does something disgusting like this. Wait I got it, they could say Gamina discriminated against the pregnant teacher “for the children,” therefore making a positive out of something they would be calling for a Republican to resign over!

Unlike Republicans, the democrats will defend Gamina to the very end. They will not call for his resignation and will say he was acting in the best interest of the people.
I love the “for the children” comment Equal. Why do the Democrats constantly insult us taxpayers with this line? They must think was are all incapable of seeing through their BS.
What an embarrassment. I bet a number of soccer moms would like to reconsider their vote.
Does Gumina have a fetish for pregnant women or something against obesity? Now Webster taxpayers have to pay for even more legal fees. It has after all been about a month since the last lawsuit ended.
Great article Equalizer. This is horrible for not just the woman involved but for women all over this community and beyond. It seems the Democrats are bringing us right back into the dark ages.
Once again, the party that professes to be the party for women and minorities stick’s it to ‘em once again.
I know there’s a lot of people out there that see through the Democrat party’s lies and slick rhetoric.
When will the rest of them learn?
Anyone catch a press release from NOW out there yet?
They’re bi-partisan enough to support women who are treated poorly by Democrat men too, right?
OMG, milk just shot right out of my nose!
