Aurel v. School Board of Miami-Dade County Public Schools
16 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. D310
Plaintiff failed to show direct discrimination when he claimed that persons not connected with the adverse employment decision (to terminate plaintiff) uttered racial epithets. In attempting to show indirect evidence, the plaintiff failed when he lacked personal competence to testify regarding disciplinary action that might have taken place with respect to his coworkers (alleged drinking on the job and mis-diagnosis of a bus mechanical problem). With respect to these coworkers, the plaintiff also failed to show that the alleged comparators were outside the protected class of which plaintiff is a member. Plaintiff also failed to rebuff the defendant employer
