If you act on that restriction, I believe it is in the United States. The impression I have is that this is black letter law in the US. It is not a requirement of discrimination law in the US in general that the discrimination be the *only* reason for an employment choice, only that the bias be discriminatory, and stating it as a requirement certainly meets the basic requirement there. It's doubly illegal around here -- age discrimination is a violation of California's Fair Employment and Housing Act as well as the federal statute. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
