I don't see anything in your statement that would make me think you were discriminated against because you're a single parent. I think we, as humans, need to stop making excuses for things that happen by saying we were discriminated against for [fill in the blank]. Again, I don't understand why anyone would think it's because of your single parent status. Good luck to you.

I’m not sure I am seeing the connection with being a single parent. Are there details to the situation that you didn’t share in the post?
I get it. If I were you I would start looking for something else immediately.
Do you mind explaining what part of it was discriminatory? Or what makes you think it was possibly discrimination?
They have to be leaving something out..
I don't blame you for feeling the way you are feeling; I would feel the same way. Are you sure it is because you are a single parent, though? It could just be favoritism. Either way, I think I would start looking for something else.
I actually had someone confirm that the hiring manager said that single parents are liabilities to the medical field and should work other jobs
The hiring manager claims that single parents are liabilities to the medical field and I just feel like that’s an unfair statement or wrong way to view someone trying to make it in this world.
Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with you being a parent unless you aren't providing context such as....; never covering other people's shifts but always expecting coverage when your kiddo is sick, expecting a special schedule while everyone else has to abide by the company schedule, expecting leadership roles or higher pay for simply being a parent, expecting to just leave because the school nurse called (I was a notoriously sick kid, like frequently hospitalized kind of sick, if your parents can't pick you up it isn't the end of the world we just stay in the nurse's office for the day). These are things that will seriously piss off coworkers and make them less likely to help you, which makes you less likely to help them, and it creates a domino effect. The examples I listed are based on a coworker of mine.
I see no connection to being a single parent and this situation. The new hire has experience in phlebotomy - and apparently you don't. It makes perfect sense to put the person with experience in the role.

I would document everything and raise it professionally. I believe concerns like that need to be addressed clearly, not ignored.
