Challenged the characterization

Response to this claim

DuRousseau's complaint alleges that PragerU discriminated against him because of his race and sexual orientation, subjected him to a hostile work environment, retaliated against him and wrongfully terminated him.

“Prager U is in Los Angeles, they are cooked in their court system. Don’t hire grossly unprofessional people, and if you must, make them a contractor.”

Why we used this label

The case's reference point is the discrimination, hostile treatment, retaliation and wrongful termination that DuRousseau's complaint alleges against PragerU. Maxwell does not address whether that conduct occurred. He attributes PragerU's legal exposure to the Los Angeles courts and to hiring DuRousseau, whom he casts as grossly unprofessional. That disputes DuRousseau's account of himself as a wronged employee without defending the conduct the complaint alleges.
