Can’t the company just say “the sun rose in the East today, so we decided to fire you”

Even at-will contracts have to follow the law, i.e. be enforceable. So if you are hired at-will and get fired because someone doesn’t like your gender, ethnicity, etc. the at-will clause of your employment contract cannot be enforced. This means that when you sue the company for wrongful termination the company cannot then refer to the at-will clause of the contract.
