Age Discrimination at School

[kicki79]

So you DIDN'T like being informed that there is no legal requirement that they allow you to volunteer? Go figure!

No, I'm sorry, I don't like sarcasm. Just wanted to know if there was something I could do about it. I found out from other (not you) that there is nothing. I'm just saying that people come to this sight for advice not sarcasm.

You wrote (and I quote)

Please help!!!!

on a legal advice website, and then take offense when that statement is interpreted as "please help me sue"? Really? I, too, am starting to suspect the lack of interest in you volunteering has nothing to due with your perceived age.

But do let me reiterate what already has been said, multiple times, here already - the school does not "have" to let you do anything; you can't force them, legally or otherwise, and even if their decision was based 100% on you "looking young", then that does not make a shred of difference to either of the prior two answers. (And just so we are explicitly clear, I am a licensed attorney who has been handling all sorts of discrimination claims for just about a decade now).

Is that better?

Wow... again. I didn't take offense to what advice you were giving. And your right I should have been more clear about not wanting to sue. I was simply wondering if there was anything legally that I could do is all. And again, I am sorry, I wasn't at all attacking you as a person or your capability as an attorney or not and don't apppreciate the comments attacking me as a person and would appreciate advice without the sarcasm is all.

If you has said all that in your first post, we never would have had to get to this point!

Now, for a non-legal answer: have you tried volunteering at a different school?

That's what suing is.

That's what suing is.

The first sentence of OP's initial post certainly suggested "contemplating a lawsuit" to me...

I am not sure if I even have a case or what I can do about it.
