"Age discrimination is indeed legal. It is allowed in the U.S. under the Constitution and the case law of the U.S. Supreme Court. It is allowed in laws if the discriminating governmental entity has a rational basis for their law."


Perhaps you should read some of the responses. Most of them relate to the Canadian situation where age discrimination is in fact illegal by statute.
The decisions passed down by the U.S.Supreme Court are without a doubt well thought out but as yet are not valid in the strip of land between the Great Lakes and the North Pole. Maybe one day.
