FAQ
Discrimination is when a student is treated worse or bullied because of the student's immigration status, disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.
You may be advised to file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC). We cannot forward your complaint to the PHRC. You must personally contact that agency and file the appropriate paperwork within 180 days of the alleged act of harm.
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.
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.”
Examples of such behaviors include but are not limited to: Belittling or humiliation. Discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, ethnic background, age, or physical ability. Disregard for the safety of others. Insults or verbal attacks. Sexual harassment.
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.
Include the following in your complaint letter: Your name, address and telephone number. The name, address, and telephone number of your attorney or authorized representative, if you are represented. The basis of your complaint. The date(s) that the incident(s) you are reporting as discrimination occurred.
If you feel you have experienced illegal discrimination, you can file a complaint or report a bias incident to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC). Email the PHRC or call your regional office.
Include the following in your complaint letter: Your name, address and telephone number. The name, address, and telephone number of your attorney or authorized representative, if you are represented. The basis of your complaint. The date(s) that the incident(s) you are reporting as discrimination occurred.
The most common way of showing that the action taken against you was because of your sex, race, age, etc., is to look at how other people of a different sex, race, etc., were treated who work under the same rule requirements as you.
