Age is an exception. There are no protections for the young, only the old. There’s a certain age where (don’t know what it is) where you can’t be discriminated against, but below that you don’t have protections.
- dabbledash 5y agoI believe SCOTUS hasn’t ruled that age is a “suspect classification” under the 14th amendment. The federal ADEA (the Age Discrimination in Employment Act) only creates a right of action for people over 40. It’s a weird one for sure. I wonder, if age were a suspect classification like sex, if the ADEA itself would be unconstitutional.
- pyuser583 5y agoI mean wether SCOTUS found a right in the 14th amendment is neither here nor there. These sorts of things tend to come from laws passed by legislators.
