What few people understand is that most employment discrimination is entirely legal.

A bit of the strawman fallacy going on here.

So, file a discrimination claim based on accreditation standards and see what comes back to you twice as hard.

The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment to the Constitution controls the actions of governments, not individual employers.

An employer can establish what appear to be arbitrary qualifications for employment as long as the qualifications don't violate an employment law. If a law firm wants to limit its selection pool only to candidates from an ABA accredited law school, it can.
This is dead on. It's the first thing a person must determine when deciding whether to make a Constitutional argument: Is the government's conduct at issue? If no, then there is no need to proceed down that road.
