Says a California appellate court: “[O]ffering discount admission prices to ‘baby-boomers’ to attend a musical about that generation does not involve an arbitrary class-based generalization protected by the [Unruh Civil Rights] Act.” Pizarro v. Lamb’s Players Theatre, 2006 WL 163612 (Cal.App. 4 Dist. Jan. 24, 2006). Tim Sandefur comments that the court was reassured that
“Providing discounted theater admissions to ‘baby-boomers’ to attend a musical about that generation does not perpetuate any irrational stereotypes.” Well, perhaps not, but reading decisions like this perpetuate irrational stereotypes about non-Boomers and their bloodsucking lawyers.
