Case: Murray v. Oceanside Unified School District

Question

Question: Why is the FEHA at odds with Title VII? Is it a matter of time before affinity orientation will be protected under Title VII? Was the case decide correctly?

Answer 1

For the appeal court's ruling and background on the case, see

I am not qualified to second-guess the court's decision.

Since this is a case of claimed discrimination based upon s@xual orientation, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act does not apply. That act prohibits discrimination based upon an employee's race, color, religion, s@x or national origin.
