CBS Cites First Amendment in Seeking Dismissal of 'SEAL Team' Writer's Diversity Hiring Lawsuit
May 24, 2024, 03:38 PM
CBS has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit challenging its diversity hiring practices for writers on the show 'SEAL Team.' The lawsuit, brought by a straight, white male writer, alleges that he was discriminated against in favor of more diverse candidates. CBS, along with Paramount Global, argues that its hiring decisions are protected by the First Amendment, allowing the network to select writers best suited for its programs. The network maintains that its diversity efforts are a legitimate exercise of its right to creative expression. CBS has requested a California federal judge to toss the lawsuit.
