Can you suggest a theory under which chambers could


Question: Crystal Chambers, a twenty-two-year-old unmarried African American woman, was employed by the Girls Club of Omaha, Nebraska. The club, whose membership was more than half African American, had as its stated goal to "provide a safe alternative from the streets and to help girls take care of themselves." Because of two incidents of unwed motherhood among staff members, the club's directors passed a Negative Role Model Policy, which stated that any unwed employee who became pregnant would be terminated. Pursuant to this policy, Chambers was fired when she became pregnant. Can you suggest a theory under which Chambers could challenge her discharge based on race discrimination? Can the Girls Club articulate a bonafide business reason sufficient to overcome a finding of race discrimination? See Chambers v. Omaha Girls Club [834 F.2d 697 (8th Cir. 1987)].
