Supreme Court rules for straight woman who claims she was subjected to reverse discrimination

By Amy Howe on June 5 at 12:57 pm
The justices rejected a lower-court decision that required members of a majority group to meet a heightened standard on claims of employment discrimination. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote for a unanimous court, ruling for a straight woman who claims she was subject to reverse discrimination. Every individual receives the same protection under federal discrimination employment law, the court declared, whether they are a member of a majority or minority group.
