Expert's Assistant chat
Customer: I think I am the subject of racism. How do I prove it in regards ***** ***** in the education system
JA: Can you confirm which state you're in? It will help the Lawyer give you a specific answer since laws can vary by location.
Customer: I’m in the state of Washington
JA: What steps have you taken so far?
Customer: tomorrow morning I have to meet with HR over allegations of sexual harassment.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: I’m supposed to answer to formal complaints of sexual harassment to students. I haven’t touched or said anything wrong to these students. I know for fact that a person known to be racist has encouraged parents to lodge complaints against me, via email campaigns. I have done nothing
