NextImg:SCOTUS’ unanimous discrimination call is a huge win for equality

The Supreme Court just scored a big win for equal protection under the law — slamming the lefty idea that discrimination only goes one way.

The justices ruled unanimously that Ohio courts were wrong to throw out Marlean Ames’ employment-discrimination case simply because she’s not a minority.

Ames alleged she’d been passed over for a promotion at Ohio’s Department of Youth Services in favor of a less-qualified lesbian, then demoted and replaced with an also-unfit gay man.

Two lower courts spiked her case, claiming that a straight woman needed to offer more evidence of unfair treatment to show she had an “unusual employer who discriminates against the majority.”

Lefties and legacy media scoffed at Ames’ case as a “reverse discrimination” lawsuit — as if “discrimination” normally refers exclusively to unfair treatment of minorities.

This all follows the left’s “oppressor vs oppressed” dichotomy, in which you’re ever-more-inherently villainous if you’re straight, white, male, able-bodied, rich, etc.: Anyone who ticks fewer of those boxes than you automatically can’t discriminate against you because they have less “systemic power.”

All nine Justices ripped that argument apart.

Indeed, liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote that disparate-treatment law on “draws no distinctions between majority-group plaintiffs and minority-group plaintiffs. Congress left no room for courts to impose special requirements on majority-group plaintiffs alone.”

There is no “reverse discrimination”: only discrimination, no modifiers needed.

This is one more huge blow to the DEI industry, which is all about mandating that racist box-ticking mentality.

Which surely why the usual suspects still called the ruling “divisive” and/or President Trump’s fault — as if a 9-0 decision somehow left any room for confusion.

Kudos to the justices for upholding the plain and simple truth: The Civil Rights Act protects all people from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin — not just those who the left sees as victims.

That’s real equality.
