YES ... businesses in a free society (something we haven't seen for a VERY long time) should be able to do whatever they feel will benefit the business; that includes whomever they wish to offer discounts to. If I had a magic wand and were dictator, I would offer discounts to families with children. Socioeconomically, this is one of the groups struggling most financially. Seniors are, for the most part, high on the same ladder, i.e. doing rather well!
