A California law mandating corporations set racial, ethnic, and gender identity-based diversity quotas was ruled unconstitutional by a Los Angeles judge.
The law, which requires California-based corporate boards have members from an "Underrepresented community," was signed by leftist Gov. Gavin Newsom last year.
By December 31, 2022, corporate boards were required to fill a minimum proportion of the seats on the board with "Underrepresented community" members based on the size of the board.
Conservative legal watchdog Judicial Watch sought a permanent injunction on the measure citing the Golden State's equal protection clause, which was granted with no explanation from the judge.
California lawyers argued the law did not "Discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting" in a court filing.
The injunction "Declared unconstitutional one of the most blatant and significant attacks in the modern era on constitutional prohibitions against discrimination," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, according to Fox News.
California released a "Diversity on Boards" report in March noting 300 of 700 corporations had complied, but over half did not file a disclosure statement.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
