Supreme Court Rules on Reverse Discrimination Case: Unanimous Decision for Ohio Woman
Supreme Court Sides With Ohio Woman in Reverse Discrimination Case In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court sided with a woman who claimed she faced reverse discrimination in her workplace. The case, Ames v. Ohio Department of Youth Services, involved an Ohio woman who alleged she was passed over for a promotion because of her sexual orientation. A lower court had previously dismissed her lawsuit, stating she failed to show a pattern of discrimination against straight people by her employer. However, the Supreme Court reversed the lower court's decision, finding in favor of the woman. The ruling has significant implications for the interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex. Justice [Justice's Name, if available from video or other sources], in a statement accompanying the ruling, emphasized [Quote from Justice, if available].
