The Supreme Court has prepared to rule in favor of the prejudice case of the Ohio woman

The Supreme Court has prepared to rule in favor of the prejudice case of the Ohio woman

The Supreme Court probably seemed to join an Ohio woman on Wednesday, who claims she has suffered sexual discrimination from her employer because she is straight.

The result of the case could remove an additional requirement for some courts to apply when members of a majority group, including those who are white and heterosexual, sue for discrimination in accordance with federal legislation.

The justice Brett Kavanaugh declared a way to solve the case, which seemed to enjoy wide support among his colleagues.

“Discrimination based on sexual orientation, whether you are gay or right, is forbidden. The rules are the same, no matter how it goes, “Kavanaugh said.

Justice have heard arguments in a call from Marlean Ames, who has worked for the Ohio youth service department for over 20 years.

Ames claims that it was adopted for a promotion and then withdrawn because it is heterosexual. Both the job he sought and the one he held were given to LGBTQ.

Title VII of the law on civil rights of 1964 has sexual discrimination at work. A court and the 6th Court of Appeal of the US Circuit were pronounced against Ames.

The question for justice is that the 6th circuit based on Cincinnati and several other courts covering 20 states and Colombia District applies a higher standard when members of a majority group submit discrimination applications. People who support prejudices at work should show “background circumstances”, including the fact that LGBTQ people have made decisions that affect ames or statistical evidence showing a discrimination model against the majority group members.

The Court of Appeal mentioned that Ames did not provide such circumstances.

Prosecutor General of Ohio, T. Elliot Geiser, told justice that the officials who made the work decisions did not even know the sexual orientation of Ames.

But even Geiser did not observe too much to the restricted result that seemed most likely. “Everyone here agrees that everyone should be treated equally,” said Geiser.

His concession caused Judge Neil Gorsuch to observe: “We are in radical agreement on this today.”

The first legal group and other conservative groups in America have submitted briefs that claim that the majority groups are just as likely to face discrimination at work, if not more, due to diversity, equity and inclusion of policies.

President Donald Trump has ordered the termination of policies in the federal government and sought to put an end to government support for Dei programs elsewhere. Some of the initiatives of the new administration have been temporarily blocked in the federal court.

Lawyers for America First, founded by Trump, assistant Stephen Miller, wrote that the idea that discrimination against members of the majority groups is rare “is very suspicious at this time of employment based on” diversity, equity and inclusion. “

But Wednesday was not mentioned about Dei by Justices.
