Case: Discrimination/National Origin (5th Cir.)

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed summary judgment for Dallas Independent School District on national origin discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act brought by a Mexican-American teacher who was fired after students complained about racially insensitive remarks, ruling that he failed to establish a prima facie case because he provided no evidence of a similarly situated comparator who was treated more favorably.
