New Jersey’s Law against Discrimination (LAD) protects against discrimination based upon age, race, gender, marital status, disability and other categories as well. See N.J.S.A 10:5-5, 10:5-12. Accordingly, as a matter of public policy, our case law is evolving so as to help eradicate the cancer of discrimination. See L.W. v. Toms River Regional Schools Board of Education, 189 N.J. 381, 399 (2007). Freedom from this cancer is in fact one of the fundamental principles of our society. Lehmann v. Toys R Us,132 N.J. 587, 600 (1993).
