Nicholas Sparks — Sued By School Headmaster — He’s A Racist, Homophobic, Anti-Semite

EXCLUSIVE

Nicholas Sparks is a homophobic, anti-Semitic racist … according to the Jewish ex-headmaster of Sparks’ Christian school.

Saul Hillel Benjamin claims in a new lawsuit — obtained by TMZ — he was hired to run the Epiphany School for Global Studies founded by Sparks in 2006.

Benjamin says he started complaining to Sparks and others … the school had virtually no African American — 2 out of 514 students.  Benjamin claims Sparks responded, “Black students are too poor and can’t do the academic work.”  

Benjamin also says Sparks got incensed when he [Benjamin] met with the NAACP North Carolina chapter, telling the headmaster to “engage only in private and less visible friend with African Americans.” 

The lawsuit goes on … claiming Sparks ignored bullying claims by gay students and even lent support to a student group that wanted to enact a “homo-caust.”

Benjamin also claims Sparks publicly humiliated him by forcing him to get up in front of the entire school and justify his Jewish belief.  He says the parents of the students hurled insults at him while the board applauded.

Benjamin says he was fired and Sparks — who particularly wrote “The Notebook” about a couple’s like transcending Alzheimer’s — telling others in the school to ignore Benjamin’s claims because he was suffering from Alzheimer’s.

We reached out to Sparks’ people … so far no note.
