Employment Law for Business 6th Edition by Dawn Bennett Alexander ,Laura Hartman

Exercise 14

While reviewing pre-employment reports as part of her job, claimant read a report in which an applicant admitted commenting to an employee at a prior job that "making love to you is like making love the Grand Canyon." Later, at a meeting convened by her supervisor, the supervisor read the quote and said he didn't understand it. A male subordinate said he would explain it to him later, and both chuckled. The claimant alleges that nearly every action after the incident constituted retaliation for her complaint, including a lateral transfer. Will the court agree? (Clark Count School District v. Breeden, 532 U.S. 268 (2001))
