Saying Gay people should NOT just hire gay people for jobs….
In a High Court that has watered down Civil Rights?
This IS another step….
The Civil Rights actions of the 60’s ARE going away….
There were a few other decsions handed down….
The justices unanimously struck down a standard, used in nearly half of the nation’s federal circuits, that required members of groups that historically have not faced discrimination to meet a higher bar to prove workplace bias than members of minority groups.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the only Black woman on the high court, wrote the opinion that sided with Marlean Ames, an Ohio state government employee who argued it was unconstitutional to have different standards for different groups of people.
“Congress left no room for courts to impose special requirements on majority-group plaintiffs alone,” Jackson wrote in the ruling, portions of which she read from the bench.
The decision was one of six released by the high court on Friday, with about four weeks left in the term. The justices also sided with a Catholic charity in Wisconsin that was denied a tax exemption, and ruled against Mexico’s attempt to bring a lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers. The Ohio ruling revived Ames’s discrimination claim against the state agency overseeing youth corrections facilities, sending it back to lower courts that had ruled she failed to meet the higher bar of proof….
…
“It really is in line with the current political climate and certainly has the potential to increase the volume of discrimination claims,” said Julie Levinson Werner, vice chair of the employment law practice group at Lowenstein Sandler.
Werner said Thursday’s ruling probably would accelerate legal trends that were sparked by the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision to strike down race-conscious admissions policies in higher education. Ames’s case does not directly implicate diversity equity and inclusion initiatives, but employment lawyers have said a ruling for her, and the backlash against DEI, could add pressure on companies to rethink programs aimed at protecting and elevating members of minority groups.
As a result of the college admissions decision, “various programs that were implemented to improve minorities’ opportunities at companies have been increasingly challenged as discriminatory,” Werner said. “Really what this case does is that it further bolsters that position.”…
…
Ames had an unusual set of allies in the case. Her position was backed by both the Biden administration and the far-right America First Legal, which was helmed by Stephen Miller, now a top policy adviser to President Donald Trump. America First Legal has attacked DEI initiatives and filed numerous lawsuits on behalf of White people alleging discrimination…..
Note…
Teaching Civil Rights history WILL continue….
Diversity IS America in most places…
But set ‘asides ‘and ‘goals’ seem to be in jepority for formally protected classes in some places..
This was a unanimous 8-0 decision and you either apparently disagree on the merits or just want to present a “Court is bad” narrative.
Yes the ruling was unanimous……
In certain places in this country there IS STRAIGHT UP Racism
But as I say in the bottom of my piece
Diversity IS HERE to stay
Trump and the Court won’t make it go away
We HAVE made great strides
This ought to make ya happy
Explain WTF Harvard gets HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS in taxpayer money?
I do not know what your statements have to do with this particular court ruling.
A unanimous ruling is pretty rare. If someone looks into the case and disagrees with a unanimous ruling, they should probably be able to back it up.
It was 9-0 actually.
The only logical disagreement with this decision would be from a pure libertarian perspective in which someone believes that a private employer has every right to discriminate based on whatever factor they want.
I don’t have a problem with this ruling.
It was unanimous.
In what way was this ruling racist?
Note..If he responds it will be a load of mishmash not responsive at all to the matter at hand.
