His academic preparation is outstanding and his results as a teacher speak for themselves. He has been married to his husband David for 3 years and is scared his sexual orientation would hinder the process. He is scared to disclaim his sexual orientation during the interview. What advice would you give Mr. Harris? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) A school rejecting a teacher solely because of their sexual orientation is a violation of the Civil Rights Act. Additionally, his sexual orientation shouldn't come up as a topic of discussion in a job interview unless he brings it up. I don't think he needs to be concerned about being rejected as a candidate because he's gay absent some action from the school that shows they are being discriminatory.
