Supreme Court Slams the Door on Double Standards: Reverse Discrimination Lawsuits Just Got Easier: On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision that could send shockwaves through workplaces across the nation. In a case straight out of Ohio, the Court declared that “reverse discrimination” claims deserve the same legal footing as any other — no more hoops, no special disclaimers, and no second-class status for those who happen to be white or straight. Let that settle for a moment. A woman, Marlean Ames, who has spent over two decades working in Ohio’s Department of Youth Services, claimed she was denied a promotion and later demoted not because she failed at her job — but because she’s heterosexual. And now, the highest court in the land has spoken: her claim deserves a fair hearing, not an uphill battle.
