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.
