Considerable uproar continues in the aftermath of last year’s “woke” takeover of Montpelier, the
museum
estate of American founder
James Madison
.
One year ago today, George Urban signed a contract to be the chief financial officer of Montpelier, a job that, in effect, he had already been doing without the formal title. On March 31, Urban filed a
lawsuit
claiming Montpelier had breached his contract by dismissing him without the severance pay guaranteed therein. Urban’s suit also suggests his dismissal stemmed at least in part from a claim he and three others filed on the same day he signed the contract, May 16, 2022, alleging that the four had been subjected to a hostile work environment by staffers supporting what amounted to a board coup in which the left-wing forces took control of the foundation.
