I 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.
