Catherine Bosley worked as a television news anchor for WKBN Channel 27 in Youngstown, Ohio. While on vacation with her husband in Florida she participated in a “wet t-shirt” contest, which was videotaped without her consent by DreamGirls, Inc. and licensed to Marvad Corp., which runs a Web site for adult entertainment through a subscription service on the Internet. Marvad used depictions of her in advertisements to promote the materials and services it markets. Web site searches related to Catherine Bosley in 2004 were the most popular search on the World Wide Web. Due to the publicity, she resigned from her position at WKBN. Bosley sought an injunction against the defendants from using her image in any manner that promotes the sale of their goods or services.

The State of Florida has passed a statute nullifying any marriage that has previously been recognized, as well as outlawing any future marriages, for anyone who did not attend college. The statute gives no notice to any married couple and gives them no ability to challenge the statue. This statute has been challenged as unconstitutional by a group of married individuals as well as marriage equality groups.

"7. Freedom of Speech. Wandering Dago, Inc. (WD), operates a food truck in Albany, New York. WD brands itself and the food it sells with language generally viewed as ethnic slurs. Owners Andrea Loguidice and Brandon Snooks, however, view the branding as giving a “nod to their Italian heritage” and “weakening the derogatory force of the slur.” Twice, WD applied to participate as a vendor in a summer lunch program in a state-owned plaza. Both times, the New York State Office of General Services (OGS) denied the appli-cation because of WD’s branding. WD filed a suit in a federal district court against RoAnn Destito, the commissioner of OGS, contending that the agency had violated WD’s right to free speech. What principles apply to the government’s regula-tion of the content of speech? How do those principles apply in WD’s case? Explain. [Wandering Dago, Inc. v. Destito, 879 F.3d 20 (2d Cir. 2018)] (See Business and the Bill of Rights.)"

In 1980, after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, President Jimmy Carter asked Congress for funds to reactivate draft registration. President Carter suggested that both males and females be required to register. Congress allocated funds only for the registration of males. Several men who were subject to draft registration brought a lawsuit that challenged the law as being unconstitutional, in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the draft registration law, reasoning as follows: The question of registering women for the draft not only received considerable national attention and was the subject of wide-ranging public debate, but also was extensively considered by Congress in hearings, floor debate, and in committee.

- The Case of Baylor University Patty Crawford, the Title IX coordinator at Baylor from November 2014 to October 2016, was hired to coordinate the institution’s Title IX compliance when this case took place (Baylor University, n.d.). Like all Title IX coordinators, Crawford’s role was a comprehensive administrative role that bears the responsibility of ensuring that campuses prevent and respond to gender discrimination, including sexual misconduct. This role spans duties related to grievance process management, victim assistance, organization management, and climate management (Lake, 2017). In addition to managing the institution’s compliance, Title IX coordinators also craft comprehensive training and awareness strategies to ensure students, employees, and other campus stakeholders are aware of how to identify and report sexual misconduct and what resources are available to students regardless of whether they choose to proceed with the grievance process. Crawford alleged that she was…arrow_forwardThe Abercrombie & Fitch Religious Discrimination Case The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 2015 case involving Abercrombie & Fitch, ruled that that “an employer may not refuse to hire an applicant for work if the employer was motivated by avoiding the need to accommodate a religious practice,” and that doing so violates the prohibition against religious discrimination contained in the CRA of 1964, Title VII. According to the EEOC general counsel David Lopez, “This case is about defending the American principles of religious freedom and tolerance. This decision is a victory for our increasingly diverse society.”22 The case arose when, as part of her Muslim faith, a teenage girl named Samantha Elauf wore a hijab (headscarf) to a job interview with Abercrombie & Fitch. Elauf was denied a job because she did not conform to the company’s “Look Policy,” which Abercrombie claimed banned head coverings.

Quark's Burgers has over 100 franchisees, and its franchise agreement states that all franchisees must offer menu items as directed by Quark's Burgers, and that the failure to do so could result in the immediate termination of the franchise. Ben bought the franchise because he was a vegetarian, and its menu was free of meat products. In addition, Ben's religion forbids the eating of any meat products. Ben's franchise was very successful, and every year he received an award from Quark's Burgers for being one of the top 10% of its franchisees. In April 2019 Quark's Burgers changed its menu; among the changes included breakfast sandwiches with bacon, ham, or sausage. Ben refused to sell these items at his store on the ground that his religion forbids the eating of pork products. In January 2020 Ben opened a second franchise, at which he also refused to sell products with meat products. Ben's franchises…arrow_forward
