Not to hijack, but just to make a point. There is a precedent for no enforcement of some things...
As someone who is involved in hiring, this sort of thing is rather close to home. I/we would never think to discriminate based on race, gender, etc.... Not because it's the law, but because doing so would simply be wrong! Clearly this way of thinking does not exist with some people.
Clearly there will be no enforcement, and probably no complaints either. I hope that changes on both points.
