This was in the Tribune today. It is related to a Chicago public school being sued for discriminating against pregnant teachers. However, I just love the wording.
quote:
During that time frame, "there existed a regular, purposeful, and less-favorable treatment of teachers because of their sex (pregnancies)," according to the lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court.
You definitely could take "because of their sex (pregnancies)" two ways. Big Grin

Sometimes there is a case to be made for using the word "gender."

I think the "pregnancies" in parentheses is the funniest part. I mean really - they had to explain that? Roll Eyes
