Marlean Ames, 60, filed a lawsuit against the Ohio Department of Youth Services, alleging she was passed over for a promotion and ultimately demoted because she is heterosexual. The US Supreme Court is set to hear a case involving an Ohio woman who claims her workplace discriminated against her by prioritizing her gay and male colleagues. Specifically, the Supreme Court will rule on the question of whether or not the woman needs to "make a showing in addition to the usual ones for establishing a prima-facie case" due to her being of the non-minority, heterosexual status. The ruling from the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals that the Supreme Court is taking up had cited previous case law in saying that the woman "must show 'background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority.'"
Marlean Ames, 60, filed a lawsuit against the Ohio Department of Youth Services, alleging she was passed over for a promotion and ultimately demoted because she is heterosexual. Ames began working for the department in 2004 and, after 10 years, was promoted to Administrator of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). In 2017, she was assigned a new supervisor, a gay woman who reported to Assistant Director Julie Walburn, a straight woman, according to the Daily Mail.
Court documents show that Ames applied for the position of Bureau Chief of Quality in April 2019, but after being interviewed, she was rejected. Ames claimed her supervisor praised her for decades of public service but "also suggested that she retire" following the rejection. The position was awarded to another gay woman, and Ames was later demoted by Walburn.
“Four days later, on May 10, 2019, Walburn and Human Resources Administrator Robin Gee called Ames into a meeting where they terminated her as PREA Administrator and gave her the option of returning to her previous position, which would amount to a demotion,” the lawsuit stated. Ames’ hourly wage dropped from $47.22 to $28.40. Her former role as PREA Administrator was then given to a gay man.
Just keep your mouth shut lady. No one will know. You can always lie.
I thought, by definition, there can be no discrimination against white people, or straight people.
Seinfeld- They are gay? Not that there is anything wrong with that.
“it’s fine if that is who you are”
GOOD!!!
I was just talking to a friend on the phone about DEI and mentioning how I’ve worked with the same company for 38 years and the employee assist team is full of morons who haven’t a clue because of DEI.
Ironically the situation i was referring to, which has been going on for a month, was handled in 10 minutes when a white guy, who’s experienced with the company, called me after my complaining emails to the company.
That same definition also claims black people cannot be racist.
Scary to have more of the LGBTQPedo cult running it.
grooming 24x7, 365
a white guy? really?
Sounds like she also has a case for age discrimination.
I caught that too. Sounds like ageism to me.
Sounds like Ohio juveniles are sent to a Turkish prison.
yup- how about that....
In fact, it’s frightening to have the LGBTQPedo cult in power at all!
She wasn't a member of the "correct" club.
“also suggested that she retire”
probably age discrimination
What a joke! Affirmative Action has been discrimination against the (minority) of white heterosexual men for 50 years!
Just talk to white men about it.
Now it has increased to discrimination against white heterosexual women.
This might also be a case of trying to get rid of somebody getting too close to being vetted in the pension.
