A headteacher is suing her school claiming parents called her "that bloody Indian woman".
Sudhana Singh, 44, said a group of parents made her life a misery, while children at Moorlands primary school in Reading had "deeply held racist attitudes". She said she made a formal complaint about "acute racism" among parents.
A total of 169 parents are believed to have signed a petition calling for Mrs Singh to be sacked.
She is suing the school's governing body and the council for alleged race discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
The council and the governing body deny the claims. They cite an inquiry's findings that Mrs Singh could be "intimidating".
