Is it too much to ask that everyone be treated equally?

Family status is a protected class, unless you are childfree. If we said everyone except Hispanics gets an extra 10 weeks paid time off, HN would be losing its collective minds.

How do you treat everyone equally then?

It's not the same analogy. People with children are not equal to people without, so they can be treated differently.
