Equal Protection.

Aida’s legal troubles with the landlords and the moving company were now behind her. She decided to visit her folks back in the east coast. During dinner one day, she learned from her mother about something troubling at her aunt’s workplace. Aida’s aunt, Irma, age forty-nine, had worked for a government-owned and -operated radio and television station in Washington DC for over a decade when, without any prior notice, she was suddenly transferred from her television program to a position in radio. Her replacement in the television program was a twenty-eight-year-old woman with less experience. Mozer, the administrator of the television channel, explained to a newspaper reporter that Irma was removed because they needed new faces to appeal to a wider and younger audience. Mozer believed Irma’s replacement would bring the change they were looking for. Aida then met with aunt Irma and encouraged her to sue Mozer. Irma then hired a lawyer and filed a lawsuit against the station alleging in part that the transfer discriminated against her on the basis of age and therefore violated her rights under the equal protection clause. Mozer claimed that the transfer was for the purpose of maximizing viewership for the public television channel and therefore was a permissible action. Will the court agree with Mozer that the station did not violate Irma’s right to equal protection? (In answer this question, disregard the fact that Irma could have sued the station under a federal law prohibiting age discrimination in employment. She based her claim only on the equal protection clause. Just analyze the equal protection issue.
