(Chicago, USA) - Today, Lambda Legal filed a complaint with the Cook County Human Rights Commission charging the Bremen Community High School District No. 228, Bremen Community Board of Education, and Bremen School Board president, Evelyn Gleason, with sexual orientation discrimination. "Ms. Gleason and other members of the school board tried to keep Rich Mitchell from being hired because he is gay, and when they failed to do that, they stopped him from doing his job -- all at the expense of the students of Bremen," said James P. Madigan, Staff Attorney in Lambda Legal's Midwest Regional Office. "When Ms. Gleason tried to terminate Dr. Mitchell's employment, she responded to a parent who questioned her 'Did you know he's gay?'"
