quote:

David Duvall of Michigan sued Novant Health, Inc. in 2019 after he was fired as senior vice president of marketing and communications the previous year.

Duvall said in the suit that he was terminated without cause "as part of an intentional campaign to promote diversity in its management ranks" and that he was fired due to his sex and gender.


quote:

Duvall, hired in 2013, said he was fired shortly before his fifth anniversary at the company and was replaced by a Black woman and a white woman. He argued discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.


quote:

The verdict form says the jury found that Duvall's race or sex was a motivating factor in the termination, according to online federal court records.

There were definitely emails, documents, and deposition testimony that confirmed it for that kind of reward.

That's awesome for him. Hopefully more companies get popped for this.

(This will get appealed for awhile)

I remember years back a new DA or something came into NOLA and just fired all of the white people and they sued and won.

I'm about as left as most any we'll see on this site, but I was glad when I read this. Doing wrong in the name of right is not only fricked up, it actively harms what it tries to accomplish.

Awesome, establishes a precedent...that anyone can use to punish corporations for their faux-woke nonsense.

All these quota pusher white people should step down from whatever position they hold and give to a minority, before they ever fire someone else.

Not sure the women were even doing his actual workload, just getting his management level position for the purpose of statistics.


Not a new thing either. I know people who got forced out of their jobs to have people who were younger, darker, or more female installed into those positions.

Pressure was put on because those people didn’t outwardly bitch about the duties of their job and what was involved. Their token replacements totally dropped the ball when shite came up precisely because they knew nothing about how to do the job.


Said token also got passed around to every department under that same employer to keep her ahead of her mistakes catching up to her as well as reward her for being the boss’s good friend.
