  Here’s an issue we discuss in my employment law class.  Can Hooters refuse to hire male servers?  They do of course.  Well now a man in Texas has had enough and has filed a human rights complaint alleging he has been discriminated against because he is not an attractive female.  He wants to be a “Hooters Girl”, in other words, and the employer won’t hire him.
We’ve talked about how this case would be analyzed under Ontario human rights law in class. Â Since we are prepping for final exams, maybe someone from my course could attempt to explain to the Blog readers how this case would be decided under Ontario law. Â What sections of the Human Rights Code would come into play? Â What ‘defense’ would the employer assert?
