[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At some point could there be a legal argument made that adding restrictions to unvaccinated versus vaccinated kids is discrimination?  At this point I feel we are really moving towards civil liberty issues.[/quote]

That’s not how discrimination works. [/quote]

Discrimination isn't illegal. Discrimination based on protected class is. When I charge a delivery fee for pizza and don't charge people who pick up their own pizza that same fee it is discrimination. And it is legal.[/quote]

Uh...but if your rule has a disparate impact by race...what then?  If the algorithm for IRS audits catches Black people more than white people (just due to filing characteristics correlated with income), is that discriminatory?[/quote]

Not being a lawyer, I googled (LOL I know) and pretty sure policies with disparate impacts by race are indeed discriminatory.

e.g., https://www.justice.gov/crt/fcs/T6Manual7[/quote]

this lawyer congratulates your google skills. that’s exactly right.

if anyone cared to bring the case, it would be a serious one. I think the quarantine policies were the big problem last year, but those went away. if DCPS actually excludes kids on the basis of vaccination this year, then we’ll see what happens. [/quote]
