Pbs Learning Media: Crash Course Government and Politics: Sex Discrimination

In this episode, we discuss employment discrimination, primarily against women in the workforce. Discrimination against women tends to be handled somewhat differently in the courts, as they are not a minority. Even so, the courts need a method for challenging issues to help further important government interests - this is called intermediate scrutiny. (If you'll remember, strict scrutiny is the most rigorous form of judicial review, and rational basis review is the least rigorous.) [8:05]
