What are  2 court cases that were based on BFOQ's including the current status.

Expert Solution
Introduction:

Bona fide occupational qualifications (BFOQs) are an exception to federal and state employment discrimination laws that allow employers to consider certain protected characteristics when making employment decisions, if they can show that the characteristic in question is reasonably necessary to the normal operation of their business or enterprise. The goal of BFOQs is to balance the interests of the employer and the rights of employees and job applicants to be free from discrimination. However, the use of BFOQs is strictly limited by law, and employers must be able to demonstrate that any BFOQ is reasonably necessary for the normal operation of their business or enterprise, and that it does not discriminate against a protected class of individuals. This requires a careful balancing of the employer's business needs and the individual rights of job applicants and employees. In this article, we will explore the legal framework for BFOQs, their use in employment decisions, and recent court cases that have tested the limits of BFOQs.
