(4,959 posts)I still doubt that her claims of discrimination based on race and national origin will hold up here, but as I have said repeatedly, we are only hearing from her lawyer and there is a lot we don't know.
I'm also skeptical that these precedents you mention will apply to this case given the particulars but I am curious to see how it will play out.
If she has a legit complaint regarding the alleged retaliation, I would think that would be her most likely avenue to success, but considering she hired a civil rights-oriented lawyer (who has taken some very interesting cases, based on a quick google) I guess the civil rights issue is her main beef.
Time will tell, as more facts come out. I still have a feeling that the school expects the person in this position to teach the foreign language too, but the job description is not explicit enough about it. But like everyone else all I can do is speculate since we are only hearing one side of the story so far.
