Betty wants to hire a secretary who is “mature.” In particular, she wants to hire a woman with experience and whose children are grown (so she will not have to be staying home with sick children, etc.). She also wants to make sure the woman is of “sound, Christian character, with solid morals.”To find such an employee, she ran the following ad in the newspaper: “Secretary. Excellent Pay. Quiet, professional office. Must not have young children. Prefer a strong Christian work ethic. References required. 555-1111 or write to P.O. Box 114, Evansville, IN 47712.”Discuss the legal issues raised by Betty’s ad. In other words, are there any legal issues raised with this type of advertisement?
