The head of the Human Rights Campaign’s educational arm has resigned after a coworker reported that she used the n word.
Mary Beth Maxwell, head of the HRC Foundation, used the word in recounting “an upsetting personal story in which the term was used” and again “in describing an external situation that they found horrifying, in which racial and homophobic slurs were used,” according to an internal email from HRC president Chad Griffin, obtained and shared by Politico. The email did not name Maxwell, but it was later reported that she was the “senior staff member” in question.
She previously worked in President Obama’s administration, holding various positions in the Department of Labor, including principal deputy assistant secretary for policy. In that post she helped draft Obama’s 2014 executive order banning anti-LGBTQ discrimination by federal contractors
