Below are some examples of direct discrimination: A parent rings a school asking about admission for a child with cerebral palsy. The secretary says, “We don't take disabled children.” A deaf young person is not allowed to take part in a workshop run by a visiting orchestra, as “Deaf children won't benefit from music.”

Discrimination Examples Some examples might include: A teacher calling on female children more than male children, assuming that female children are better students. A patient at a hospital getting denied treatment because they are transsexual; their assigned gender not matching the gender that they identify with.

Direct discrimination For example, you might treat a pupil less favourably because you mistakenly think they're disabled. For instance, you might exclude an autistic pupil from a school trip because you believe that they won't be able to join in the activities. Direct discrimination will always be unlawful.

The easiest way to prove unlawful discrimination is through the use of direct evidence. Direct evidence is the kind that, if believed, requires a conclusion that unlawful discrimination motivated the employer's decision. Direct evidence requires no inference or presumption.

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.

Evidence in a discrimination case in California typically includes: emails, text messages, recordings, disciplinary forms, termination documents, or a copy of your employment contract if one exists. If you're like most Californians, you spend an inordinate amount of time at work.
