Jury awards $10M to former exec who said he was fired because he is white male​


A man who alleged in a lawsuit that he was fired from a hospital system because he is a white man has been awarded a $10 million verdict by a North Carolina jury, according to court documents.
David Duvall of Michigan sued Novant Health, Inc. in 2019 after he was fired as senior vice president of marketing and communications the previous year.
Duvall said in the suit that he was terminated without cause "as part of an intentional campaign to promote diversity in its management ranks" and that he was fired due to his sex and gender.
Novant Health, which is based in Winston-Salem, has denied those allegations. It has said in court filings that he was fired for deficient performance and the delegation of critical duties to subordinates.
"We are extremely disappointed in the verdict, as we believe it is not supported by the evidence presented at trial, which includes our reason for Mr. Duvall's termination," a Novant Health spokesperson said in a statement. "We will pursue all legal options, including appeal."
Duvall, hired in 2013, said he was fired shortly before his fifth anniversary at the company and was replaced by a Black woman and a white woman. He argued discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
Luke Largess, Duvall's attorney, told NBC News that the former executive was fired days before his fifth anniversary when he would be entitled to greater severance.
"The message is not to abandon diversity and inclusion, it's to do it legally," Largess said.
A federal jury trial was held this month, and the verdict was handed down Tuesday, according to court records.
The verdict form says the jury found that Duvall's race or sex was a motivating factor in the termination, according to online federal court records.

Just wait until the Chicago art museum that fired all the non paid white women who do the tours, and answer peoples questions start suing. The art museum came out and stated they were fired because they were rich white women. Not enough diversity. I love the left eating themselves.

A Chicago museum 'fired' its volunteers. Why diversity consultants say it was the right move.

The Art Institute of Chicago decided to dismantle its decades-old docent program, reigniting a national debate on equity at major U.S. museums.

I read that article. It makes no sense. those women had to go through some intensive training and keep on updating. Now in the name of diversity they were all fired. All that knowledge wasted. How long will it take to get a similarly trained staff? And honestly who but someone who was well off could have the time to dedicate to that. If you are just scraping by how much effort are you going to put into a part time job that pays nothing. Regardless of race, If its a choice between some dead old guy and putting food on the table I know which one I would choose.
 
I saw that article and literally laughed out loud and am still giddy over it. I hope that guy reminds that company of the bullshit they pulled every day of his life. More shit like this needs to happen until horse shit like this stops. Or people need their heads caved in until it stops. I'm fine with either, and honestly would prefer the latter over any amount of money.

You bring up excellent points.


But you're reading it like a normal person would, expecting logic, and is disappointed/maybe confused.

Said article is a classic example of what liberalism/progressivism/socialism lacks: logic.
 
If they wanted diversity then start hiring new people and have them brought into the program and trained under the people that are already doing it.

sorry. just more of my silly logic. Carry on.

Could be the happening thing . . . . :mr-t::rainbow::mr-t:

Don't be racist :mad3: - they had to fire all the wealthy white women volunteering at the museum to . . . umm, promote equity? :homer:

Please tell me there's a dozen minority women (preferably trans, non-binary, ANTIFA types) jumping at the opportunity to do extensive training so they can work for zero dollars? :laughing:

Fawkin' clown world shiat :lmao:

So who paid the "consultants" who made the recommendation to fire the white people in the name of not being racist?
 
Just thought of something: if they re-fleet the docents out of pure bigotry, will the new docents inject politics into all the information about the art? Like how the Sierra Club (and yes, fuck them entirely) went next-level of virtue-signaling in 2020 when they called out John Muir (their founder and the "Father of the National Parks") for having made derogatory racial comments during his lifetime . . . between 1838 and 1914 :homer:

I know I'd sleep better at night knowing museum employees are going to tell the public how they should feel about art pieces. After all, one's opinion of a piece of art isn't a personal thing, right? What if people accidentally took a sculpture at face value, not knowing the sculptor (who died in the 1940s) wasn't actively anti-racist? :eek:

Think about it: the fired docents were depriving the public of retroactive cancel culture and reasons to detest works of art by dead folks who weren't thoughtful enough to know about modern values of political correctness, inclusion, and equity. By not being actively anti-racist in their spiels, that makes them racist, right? Whew, just in time! I'm glad that injustice was rectified :laughing:

It's surprising art museums haven't been dismantled yet and the art destroyed. Most of it was done while there were slaves somewhere in the world.
 
My mom and her friends were victims of this stupidity in the 90s. They volunteered making and delivering lunches to the poor and house bound elderly in Marin County for 3 different charitable organizations.
One by one each organization changed from voluntary to paid low wage positions and told my mom and her friends they were no longer needed.
Guess what happened, shocker, they couldn't keep the jobs consistently staffed, people got upset and found other services to meet their needs and the programs almost entirely went away. Pretty fucked up for the people who actually relied on them for their meals.:shaking:
