Supreme Court seems likely to rule for Ohio woman claiming job bias because she’s straight
Associated PressWASHINGTON — The Supreme Court seemed likely Wednesday to side with an Ohio woman who claims she suffered sex discrimination from her employer because she is straight. People alleging workplace bias have to show “background circumstances,” including that LGBTQ people made the decisions affecting Ames or statistical evidence showing a pattern of discrimination against members of the majority group. His concession prompted Justice Neil Gorsuch to note, “We’re in radical agreement on that today.” America First Legal and other conservative groups filed briefs arguing that members of majority groups are as likely to face job discrimination, if not more so, because of diversity, equity and inclusion policies. Lawyers for America First, founded by Trump aide Stephen Miller, wrote that the idea that discrimination against members of majority groups is rare “is highly suspect in this age of hiring based on ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion.’” But there was no mention of DEI by the justices on Wednesday.
