Courts often strike down employment practices that discriminate against minority employees. In school admissions cases, courts uphold institutions’ polices that favorably take into consideration factors such as race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation and the national origin of a student.
Courts also have found unconstitutional cases where defendants have been tried by judges and juries who are, in a manner of speaking, nothing like them. The reason is because our judicial system is sworn to protect the promise of equal access and opportunity for all Americans not just minorities and keep safe the reaped benefits of diversity in our workplaces, schools and communities.
