Direct evidence of discrimination is usually found where an employer admits to the employee or someone else, verbally or in writing, that their intent or motive is to take an Adverse Employment Action (described above) against an employee because the employee is a member of a Protected Class.
Discriminatory harassment occurs when conduct is: 1. Based on a student's protected class, AND 2. Serious enough to create a hostile environment. Discriminatory harassment can involve conduct between students, employee-to-student conduct, and conduct involving school visitors.
Filing a Complaint The Texas Workforce Commission Civil Rights Division (TWCCRD) Employment Discrimination Inquiry Submission System (EDISS) is the method to submit your employment discrimination complaint. It provides an ample amount of space to describe how you have been discriminated against.
Direct evidence often involves a statement from a decision-maker that expresses a discriminatory motive. Direct evidence can also include express or admitted classifications, in which a recipient explicitly distributes benefits or burdens based on race, color, or national origin.

What is discrimination? Discrimination is the unfair or prejudicial treatment of people and groups based on characteristics such as race, gender, age, or sexual orientation.
Calmly explain why what was said was harmful. Do so without ridiculing anyone, as that could escalate the situation. Lead with empathy and encourage others to empathize with the person who is being targeted. If the person who is being targeted is able to do so, allow them to speak rather than speaking for them.
Discrimination is when someone treats you differently, unfairly or worse because of your age, being disabled, your gender, gender identity, being married or in a civil partnership, being pregnant or having a child, your religion or beliefs, your race, skin colour or where you were born or your sexuality.
