School Not Providing Transportation - Discrimination? | Aug 20, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
My child is attending a charter school specifically for kids with autism. He has an IEP which specifically requires transportation, but they said he doesn’t qualify for their limited program as a new student. The district website also says charter students don’t qualify. We’ve been using medical transportation to get to school (due to the services he receives there) but they’re usually late or no-shows. This is a safety issue due to elopement + waiting an hour in extreme heat. Other parents are experiencing this issue as well. However, the state law says “Funds for student transportation.—The annual allocation to each district for transportation to public school programs, including charter schools as provided in s. 1002.33(17)(b)”… is he still not entitled to anything? How do I go about this? Location: Florida
Won appeals, university opened formal discrimination investigation into itself — how do I find legal representation on a limited budget? | Aug 19, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Florida I’m a recent graduate student (clinical healthcare program) with an update to a situation I’ve posted about before. I won two academic grade appeals last year — the university acknowledged the original grades violated its own syllabus and grading standards. Despite winning, I faced significant downstream consequences: repeat clinical hours, compressed timelines, and what I believe was retaliatory scrutiny after I escalated concerns. Since then, I filed a formal complaint with the university’s internal Equal Opportunity/Compliance office. That office’s director confirmed my allegations of race discrimination, disability discrimination, and retaliation all met the threshold for a formal investigation, and the university has retained outside counsel to investigate. I’ve been interviewed twice as part of that process. I also have a complaint pending with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), filed over a year ago, still listed as “under evaluation” with no assigned investigator as of my last update. I have real documentation — written admissions from the university acknowledging their own process failures, comparator evidence, and a clear timeline. I’ve been quoted $3,500+ retainers, which isn’t feasible for me right now. My questions: **•** Once an internal university investigation and an OCR complaint are both active, is that generally enough for an attorney to take a case on contingency, or do I need the findings to come out first? **•** Are there specific types of attorneys (education law, civil rights, employment) better suited to a case like this? **•** Are there legal aid or low-bono…
Synchrony Bank is refusing to approve my unemployment payment security benefit by intentionally rejecting the supporting documentation for the benefit. I need 1 more person for a.. | Aug 19, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: Central, Florida Synchrony is preventing me from using my payment security for my paypal credit card. They keep rejecting the supporting evidence so that I cannot use the unemployment benefit. I have called several times and have emailed them the documentation. When I ask for a supervisor, they are never available. And they refuse to set up callback times so you have no idea if or when they do. When I ask for the contact information for the legal department, they refuse. Their agents have told me to provide different documents, I submit them and then I am later told that the documents were wrong. I do not believe they are acting in good faith and are intentionally being misleading so that they do not have to pay off my credit card. I filed a BBB complaint and they did not respond so it was closed. Please respond if you have had any luck OR if you are in the same boat. I want to launching a class action..., which only requires two people. Thanks!
DMV lost my CDL hazmat paperwork and I feel like it's discrimination | Aug 15, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
[Location: Florida] This is r/legaladvice but I'm curious for any opinions on what to do in this matter since I'm experiencing it at a government office... I'll try to summarize facts while separating why discrimination feels like a motive because it is important, but I'm just upset with the final result. I have had a CDL with a hazmat endorsement for 4 years and went for renewal on 6/29. Hazmat is done electronically in multiple locations now, I first got it at the courthouse. I pass and all my work is done. Less than two weeks later the hazmat check site says record not found and I send an email noting this. The reply from the DMV is one line "Records show test was passed on 6/29". The clerk who did everything for my test wrote a post it note with a phone number and file number in the case to check if I haven't recieved my updated liscense in the mail. I called today and the application was never sent from the office! They had nothing from them. I called at the end of business hours so we left it at that for now. ............. So... let's take this as the case right now... wild incompetence that could cost me income, a job, or put me in very serious legal trouble for hauling hazmat materials. Potentially, the endorsement can be extended and such, but it's not something to mess up. ............. Now the second part, bear with me, I…
I work at a kava bar. My boss is threatening to fire me if I go to another one for a drink. Is this legal?(Florida) | Jul 27, 2026 | Sourced from Reddit
Location: South Florida. I work at a kava bar. One of my old coworkers opened up a Kava bar as well. My boss, being my boss, didn’t take it too well. She has been relentlessly talking crap about him, his bar, where he got the money for it, along with talking about him to other customers. She has also been bad mouthing customers to other customers. While I don’t have any ill will towards him, as he didn’t do anything to me, she doesn’t want anyone going to his bar. While I was not told directly, she has said to other people(their words) that they will be fired on the spot if we go visit him. She was also going on a “banning spree”, banning anyone from the bar that goes to visit him at his bar. She is losing business daily, and I don’t see this place being open another year at this rate. I know Florida is an at will state, but would firing me for going to his bar be considered retaliation? Is there any legal standing for this? Edit: thought the phrase was right to work state, changed it to at will state
