Required discrimination

Sanford Silverburg, who teaches at Catawba College in Salisbury, North Carolina is looking for references. If you have any suggestions, contact him at ssilver at catawba dot edu

He says, "I am searching for a source that will list discriminatory practices in democracies, cemented by law. For example, required registration of births in state supported churches in Denmark. The discrimination can be social, economic, or political, but has the effect of differentiating the quality of citizenship nevertheless."

I'd guess he'd welcome examples as well as a list of legally-mandated discriminations. Share what you know.
