Department of Agriculture v. Moreno
Imagine you have a basket of apples and you want to share them with your friends. You decide to only give the apples to your friends who have green eyes because you think they look the best eating apples. But your friend with brown eyes asks for an apple and you say no because they don't have green eyes.
Now, what if the Department of Agriculture made a rule that said they would only give food benefits to people who owned a farm, but not to people who didn't own a farm. This is what happened in the Department of Agriculture v. Moreno case.
The Supreme Court said that this rule was unfair, kind of like how it's unfair to only give apples to people with green eyes. The rule discriminated against certain groups of people and that's not okay.
This landmark case helped protect against discrimination in government programs and ensured that everyone has equal access to resources and benefits.
