Question

A local school district had a policy that it would not hire bus drivers who had been convicted of driving while under the influence of alcohol. Sven claimed that this practice violated the Equal Protection Clause by unfairly excluding everyone who had been found guilty of driving under the influence ( DUI). Which standard will the court use to review the bus company's practice under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment?

Answer 1

Answer:

minimal scrutiny

Explanation:

Minimal scrutiny refers to applying laws without a rational and reasonable link with reality. That is, this concept is used to challenge a law or guideline that is not being used rationally and conceivably. An example of the use of minimal scrutiny can be seen in the above question, where a school district has adopted a policy of not hiring bus drivers convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol, this policy is being unrealistic and unreasonable in some cases. For this reason, the court will use minimal scrutiny to review the bus company practice.
