Summary
Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered the DOJ to investigate private companies for DEI programs, potentially pursuing criminal charges.
Citing the 2023 Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action, she argues DEI initiatives violate anti-discrimination laws. The directive targets large corporations, nonprofits, and universities, with reports due by March 1.
Legal experts warn this move likely violates First Amendment protections, as courts have upheld employers’ rights to promote diversity.
Civil rights groups are expected to challenge the policy, setting up a major legal battle for the administration.
Indeed. Most of us either voted directly against it, sat out, or voted for some useless third party. And as infuriating as the second two groups are - most people did not actively vote FOR this shit.
And then there are the people that are ineligible to vote like kids, who definitely don’t deserve this shit.
Please do not forget that republicans have been actively disenfranchising voters and making it hard to vote. Not everyone who didn’t vote “sat out”; they were literally unable to vote.
Oh yes, I fully realize that.
