goal and morally reprehensible discrimination and going to discrimination is what brings us today being treated as a stereotype is evidence of discrimination i was treated as a stereotype hired not

or any length of time yes you describe that experience place yes i've worked in public education and public schools and public education i was working with public school students and i wanted to tell you about what i was doing with public school students while working in public education i was working with public school students i was working in public schools in new york city and also and was just chester county i also work in public education with public school students and what i did there was i was working mostly with middle school students who were either taking summer school courses that mean college and middle school students who are enrolled in the science technology and tree program at mercy come out i spent ten years working with students who were middle school students and in and i was involved with the common common core learning standards and middle school students for ten years while working with middle school students that women college and middle taken from school classes at lehman college and middle school students enrolled in the science technology and three program at mercy college and co and at the same time i was working with high school students who had reps high school graduates who were trying to sneak admission to mainstream it's courses and can i ask your resume it reflected your work at mercy college and lehman college did it reflects that that involved middle school students my net or did had they known about the programs i was involved in heart memorial library and at that time i wanted to expose this really with middle school students from copper beach middle school and they were very much  wanted the program to last longer and so we got a two week extension which the superintendent of schools okayed and we continued with the program the extra two weeks and the children were very very very involved with that and i've had many successes in education with with on different levels so i like i said i was m level and i'm including middle school i don't feel i had ten years with you seven which whereas the person who was hired only had seven years of work with middle  and not only only with middle school students some of that was with elementary school students but i had more experience with a common core learning standards and middle school students than the person who was hired that shan's explained to the court some of her qualifications that she felt made her the better qualified candidate i submit that much of this was not listed in any of her application materials and judge karen found the same in deciding the motion for summary judgment in our favor for instance her application materials did not set forth an extensive experience in middle school public education that dr t defendant in this case said was the meat and potatoes of what the review board with was looking for in a qualified candidate the most recent public school experience listed in dr shan administrative inter in connection with her studies to become certified as school district in a straight or she did not demonstrate any knowledge of the common core learning standards that the school district was looking for and its potential assistant principal those standards were implemented in two thousand and twelve she previously worked as an administrator with a copy of each middle school students in the six week at credit than african american history when the application  that that she didn't work with the copper beech school as administrator she worked with an outside program i think her honors referring to the program at the memorial library that was outside of school and she ran that program for four weeks ultimately was extended to six weeks but that no way was administrative position with copper beech middle school her resume did not mention that experience at all her cover letter that was submitted the e mail to dr cause grow mentions briefly that she participated several years ago and supervising a number of students who volunteered to participate and that african american history month celebration setting this cover letter aside in the district court noted that the district stated that it would only consider application material submitted via a less which is an online application system that covered what it was not submitted the alas the district court said even assuming if dr collins group in the district had considered the cover letter it still wasn't enough to surpass the standard that dr shan't have to show here and was unwilling to show what the court said that there was no evidence of any discriminatory animus on the half of the district absent any questions from the panel will rest on our brief thank you two minutes everybody i was denied everything not everything he said was true and when i went to the board for the application to apply they t me i didn't even i wasn't even certified they told me i wasn't quite i had no middle school experience they they they instead a lot of things that weren't true and they're still saying a lot of things that aren't true and i think that qualifies as pattern not yet not a pattern but a ploy pretext a pretext yet over and over again that they said i was unqualified i'm more than qualified more than qualified than the right you know i have more experience doing what he that think what they harden to do and she says that in the deposition she announces that she finally conceded after i don't know how many pages but the the person who the lawyer got her to say it and she kept trying to be around it indeed around the debate around i want more qualified i am more qualified i have i've been teaching and in education
