Unanimous! Against DEI.
This one could go into the WOKE HEGEMONY IS DEAD thread, but it's too sweet!
EFFIN9-0, baby!
The Supreme Court unanimously revived a straight woman's "reverse discrimination" case against her former employer Thursday, lowering the legal hurdle for white and straight employees to bring such lawsuits.
The 9-0 decision rejects that members of a majority group must show "background circumstances" in addition to the normal requirements to prove a claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
Marlean Ames, who worked for the Ohio Department of Youth Services for two decades, sued under the landmark law over claims she was passed over for a promotion and demoted in favor of gay colleagues.
In 2019, she interviewed for another job at the department but was not hired. Her gay supervisor suggested she retire, and days later, Ames was demoted with a significant pay cut. A 25-year-old gay man was then promoted to become PREA administrator. And months later, the department chose a gay woman for the role Ames unsuccessfully applied for.
Ames' appeal at the Supreme Court was supported by the Justice Department, the American First Legal Foundation and the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation, among others. The NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund and the National Association of Counties were among those that filed briefs backing Ohio.
A major loss for the LGBTQ Mafia... and, during Pride Month, bahaha!
WOKE HEGEMONY IS DEAD!!!!!
