Re: 4'9 tall not allowed on Casino boat
Height, weight, and socioeconomic class are not protected by the discrimination laws.
Although a clever lawyer might think of a way to link your height with your sex, given that women are more apt to be short than men are, perhaps you can solve your problem by giving notice to the management, present copies of
your papers, and ask to have them issue you a special card for presentation when you are ready to board the craft.
Good luck.
