Employee sues, says ADL is “racist”

The Anti-Defamation League is being sued by an employee who charges that its promotion practices aren't kosher.

Tonietta Moffett says the nonprofit won't make her an assistant director because she's "African-American and not Jewish."

Her Manhattan federal court suit seeks unspecified damages for discrimination "on account of her race, ethnicity and nonmembership in the Jewish ethnicity or faith."

Moffett, of East Harlem, says she was hired in April 2008 as an "administrative" worker in the ADL's National Regional Operations Department. Shortly afterward, she began filling in for the department's recently departed assistant director, court papers say.

But after doing the job for nearly two years, Moffett says, she was denied a promotion on grounds that she didn't have "a deep understanding of Jewish culture."

Neither the ADL nor its lawyers returned requests for comment.

CNN (New York) – An Anti-Defamation League employee who had filed suit against the organization was found last night in a trash compactor in Teaneck, New Jersey.

Tonietta Moffett had charged in her lawsuit that the ADL refused to give her a job title and salary commensurate with the job she had done for two years, simply because she was an African-American.

Manhattan federal court Judge Schlomo Bernstein threw out Ms. Moffet’s lawsuit the same day it was filed, saying it was, “Slanderous and defamatory toward a fine organization that has always been at the forefront of fighting hate and injustice.”

Ms. Moffet’s dismembered body was discovered by employees of S&H Waste Management, which handles trash disposal for Teaneck, NJ. Why she was in New Jersey remains a mystery, as she had never visited the state before. A preliminary forensic examination by the state pathologist revealed that she had been severely tortured, and was probably still alive when she was put into the trash compactor. A racist epithet had been carved across her chest, apparently with a large knife.

Asked if he thought there was a connection between the murder and the fact that Teaneck has a very high concentration of Jews, police chief Hyrum Goldberg angrily dismissed the question as, “The worst kind of anti-Semitism.”

FBI spokesman Israel Greenberg said the Bureau will not pursue any investigation of the murder, as Chief Goldberg was fully capable of dealing with the matter himself.
