A good friend of yours has asked for some advice on workplace harassment. Your friend is a female kindergarten teacher at the local elementary school. According to her, the current principals practices are extraordinarily unfair and potentially discriminatory.

She shares with you that this principal often threatens teachers with a classroom grade change when they dont agree with him. Your friend reminds you that teachers are responsible for personally purchasing everything in their classrooms other than the desks and that she has over $3,000 invested in kindergarten-specific materials. The principal has retaliated six previous times over the past 4 years, specifically against female teachers. Your friend is fearful that she will be moved at the end of the year because of her disagreement with a policy change.

For this assignment, complete the following:

Write an e-mail to your friend with advice on her legal options under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Do you believe she has a case for workplace harassment? Support your claim with a minimum of 2 credible outside sources
You are also encouraged to personally contact local law firms (or another appropriate entity) to discuss this issue. If you have a phone conversation with a law firm or other entity, be sure to cite it properly in APA format in the text.
