1Opinion of the CourtBenton, C.J.
Christina Viering appeals the final order of the Florida Commission on Human Relations (Commission) ordering her to pay *297Bahiyyih Watson damages in the amount of $6,697.90 on account of discrimination in violation of sections 760.20-760.37, Florida Statutes (2008). Ms. Viering argues that the Commission unlawfully rejected the finding the administrative law judge (ALJ) made that no racial or religious discrimination had been proven. Agreeing that the Commission overstepped its authority by substituting its own view of the facts for the ALJ’s findings, we reverse and remand with directions.
