retaliation, and harassment under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act 

and the Americans with Disabilities Act. The suit stemmed from various onthe-job disputes not generally related to Kennedy’s ability or performance as a 

teacher in the classroom. Kennedy appeals a summary judgment in favor of 

the school.

We have reviewed the briefs and applicable law and have consulted the 

pertinent portions of the record, including the district court’s impressive 

46-page statement of reasons. We have also heard the helpful oral arguments 

of counsel. There is no reversible error. The summary judgment is 

AFFIRMED, essentially for the reasons given by the district court.
