Question presented
Lisa Washington, the Petitioner, seeks that this Honorable Court grants this Petition for Writ of Certiorari. The Petitioner presents issues herein that have a great impact upon public policy, that is the burden of proof necessary to overcome summary judgment for a complaint alleging unfair equal pay and discrimination based on race as well as workplace retaliation, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e) et seq. WHETHER THIS COURT MUST APPLY STRICT SCRUTINY IN REVIEWING THE LOWER COURTS' DECISIONS AFTER DEVIATING FROM APPLICABLE CASE AND STATUTORY LAW AND DISMISSING A TITLE VII COMPLAINT AT THE SUMMARY JUDGMENT STAGE AGAINST AN EMPLOYER AFTER THE PETITIONER PRESENTED SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT SHE WAS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, SUCCUMBED TO UNFAIR HIRING PRACTICES, DID NOT RECEIVE EQUAL AND FAIR PAY DUE TO HER RACE, AND THEN RETALIATED AGAINST RESULTING IN VIOLATION OF HER CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS?
