Laura Manning applied for a job as a firefighter. She was 5-feet-2-inches tall and weighed 110 lbs. Laura was denied the positio
n because she did not meet the height and weight requirements of 5-feet-4-inches tall and 130 lbs. The fire department's height and weight requirements: A. are not discriminatory if it can be shown that there is a relationship between the height and weight of the firefighter and her ability to perform the job.
B. are not discriminatory because historically, firefighters have always been tall.
C. are not discriminatory because Title VII only applies to gender discrimination, not long-standing societal traditions.
