The U.S. Supreme Court issued a series of unanimous rulings addressing religious rights, discrimination, and employment law during its 2025 term. Among the key decisions was the revival of a 'reverse discrimination' lawsuit brought by an Ohio woman who claimed she was denied a promotion and demoted because she is heterosexual. The Court overturned a lower court ruling, establishing that discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act must adhere to a single standard of proof regardless of the claimant's identity. This ruling simplifies the legal framework for reverse discrimination cases, removing heightened evidentiary requirements previously applied to majority groups such as white people, men, and heterosexual individuals. The Court also unanimously struck down a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision that denied unemployment tax exemptions to a faith-based charity providing aid to individuals of different faiths, reinforcing protections for religious organizations. These decisions collectively signal a shift away from identity-based legal standards and have implications for affirmative action policies and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The rulings were characterized as victories for equality, the rule of law, and religious liberty, with notable contributions from Justice Clarence Thomas and advocacy groups such as the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ).
