... of employment opportunities in all occupations and at all levels. An example of discrimination that denies equal opportunity is the practice of allowing members of these four groups to advance within a company only to a certain level.

The founders of the United States government tried to protect this liberty by assuring a free press, to gather and publish information without being under control or power of another, in the First Amendment to the Constitution.
