A:
In Indiana, there are no specific laws that address measuring children for the purpose of eating at a restaurant. However, restaurant policies that involve measuring children could potentially raise issues under anti-discrimination laws. Federal and state laws prohibit discrimination based on certain protected characteristics, such as race, religion, and national origin, in places of public accommodation, which include restaurants.
If a restaurant's policy of measuring children is applied in a discriminatory manner or results in discrimination, it could be legally problematic. For instance, if the policy disproportionately affects children of a certain race or ethnicity, it could be challenged under anti-discrimination statutes.
It's important for restaurants to ensure that their policies, including any regarding children, comply with anti-discrimination laws. If you have concerns about a specific policy at a restaurant, you might consider discussing it with the management or seeking legal advice to understand your rights and options.
Remember, understanding and adhering to anti-discrimination laws is crucial for businesses that serve the public. If you believe you or your child has been subject to discriminatory practices, there are legal avenues available to address these concerns.
