Unanimous Supreme Court Affirms that There Is No ‘Good’ Discrimination
- On June 5, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a heterosexual woman, Marlean Ames, can sue Ohio Department of Youth Services for discrimination without a higher proof standard than minority plaintiffs.
- The Court overturned lower courts that required majority-group plaintiffs like Ames to show 'background circumstances' proving the employer unusually discriminates against majority groups before suing.
- Ames was denied promotions and demoted in favor of less qualified gay candidates despite positive evaluations at Ohio's youth correction system, prompting her discrimination lawsuit.
- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote that Title VII protects individuals equally regardless of majority or minority status, and Justice Clarence Thomas concurred, criticizing courts for creating extra legal hurdles.
- The ruling rejects extra burdens on majority plaintiffs, likely increasing reverse discrimination claims and signaling uniform civil rights protections across workplaces and education institutions.
