Breaking: Judge Rules Google Must Face Hiring Discrimination Lawsuit Against Conservatives – Suit Moves to Discovery Phase!

In January 2018 James Damore, a former Google engineer who was fired from the tech giant filed a class action lawsuit against Google in a Santa Clara Superior Court in Northern California.

Damore previously sent out a ten-page viewpoint diversity essay that made its rounds online which ultimately led to his firing in early August of 2017.

Demore claims Google discriminates against white males with conservative political views.

On Friday a California court ruled that Google must the firing discrimination lawsuit against conservatives.

Harmeet Dhillon thanked James Damore for his courage in filing suit against the radical far left corporation.

The Verge reported:

Google will have to face a California lawsuit accusing the company of bias against conservative job candidates as part of a legal challenge first brought against the company by James Damore, author of the infamous 2017 “Google memo.”

Damore exited the lawsuit last year and entered arbitration with the company. But the suit, which argues Google’s hiring practices are biased against white and Asian people, conservatives, and men, will move ahead after surviving a dismissal motion from the company. In a statement, the law firm representing the plaintiffs said the suit will now move into the discovery phase.

The plaintiffs in the case are seeking class certification to represent others they believe have been discriminated against, a decision the court will make at a later date.

In legal filings, Google has disputed that conservatives are an identifiable class under the law. In a decision, the judge on the case said the court “indeed has doubts” about the viability of the idea, but it is, for the time being, letting the case move ahead. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling.
