I think companies should discriminate in any way that they think benefits them. However, most initiatives that judge people by their characteristics instead of their performance will be counter-productive.

I've worked with older co-workers who ran circles around me, and ones who took hand-holding just to accomplish simple tasks.

Companies trying to "culture-correct" to be "younger" or any other non-performance attribute will always hurt themselves.
