United States Sixth Circuit

In an employment discrimination case, the court rejected plaintiff' speech retaliation claims because the speech was not of public concern, and thus non-protected. It also rejected claims based on age and gender, because the plaintiff did not present evidence of a similarly situated person treated differently.
