Discrmination
Throughout the years of US history there have been countless acts of discrimination, of all sorts, and there have been an immense amount of cases filed in regards to these acts. Although it is commonly believed that discrimination is always illegal, the courts have repeatedly upheld discrimination in some circumstances but not in others. In the case of Roberts vs. U.S. Jaycees and the United States vs. Virginia et al. the courts ruled organizations could not exclude women but in the case of Boy Scouts of America vs. Dale, the court ruled the Boy Scouts did not violate Dale's rights by excluding him from being a troop in the Boy Scouts.In 1984 there was the Supreme Court case of Roberts vs. U.S. Jaycees.

However, the women found this substitute to be unacceptable. They further stated that application of that law did not violate the Boy Scouts' 1st Amendment right of expressive association because Dale's presence would not radically affect members' ability to carry out their purposes. Therefore the Boy Scouts' proved a burden and a violation against their rights, validating and justifying their discriminatory actions. However, Jaycees and VMI were unsuccessful in proving any violation of their rights and imposed burdens on their organizations so their discriminatory actions were fund unjustifiable. The organization provides training for its members that better one's advantage in business, and these advantages will now be available to women thanks to the application of the Minnesota Act. Therefore the Supreme Court basically upheld the rights of the citizens, by law, and made women equals within the organizations membership regulations, because it was a public association.
