FWIW, one of my MBE review questions posed a hypo not unlike this one. The answer to it was bizarre -- that the Thirteenth Amendment would prohibit this sort of discrimination. I didn't follow or agree with the analysis, but it was one of those "choose the best answer" sorts of questions. So maybe an argument could be made under the Thirteenth Amendment that the government has a duty to stamp out the 'badges and incidents' of slavery.

-- I'm not buying that though, not touching it with a ten-foot pole.
