The justices rejected an appeals court’s requirement that members of majority groups meet a heightened standard to win employment discrimination cases.
I don’t feel like the article provided enough information to make a judgement on the validity of this. Just having seniority or a college degree doesn’t automatically make you the better candidate. I am suspicious of this during pride though…
This Supreme Court doing something to support equality and not stifle it instead? Oh, wait—it’s probably just a happy accident that them dismissing the idea that discrimination requires privilege lines up with their quest to make sure the “right people” hurt.
Thank you for the clarification and useful explanation. She should be able to go to court to have her case heard. That does make sense and is a genuine step towards equality.
According to the article, she wasn’t just passed over for a promotion, she was also actively demoted, both times for someone LGBTQ+.
“Not long after denying her the new position, her supervisors removed her from her existing job, telling her that they had concerns about her leadership and offering her a demotion that came with a substantial pay cut. She was replaced by a gay man with less seniority.”
The trick for her will be proving it was discriminatory and not for other reasons.
