In Allen v. Milligan SCOTUS referred to our "colorblind Constitution" & the tension between it & Title VII's disparate impact liability has long endured. Kudos to @andrealucasEEOC & @USEEOC for requesting a clarifying opinion from DOJ.
Disparate impact liability under Title VII is unconstitutional
The Department of Justice has issued an opinion to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) that its guidelines about disparate-impact liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act are unconstitutional. The Office of Legal Counsel found that EEOC’s guidelines pressured employers to engage in racial discrimination.
"Despite trying to promote equality, EEOC's disparate impact liability interpretation under Title VII actually fosters the very discrimination its guidelines seek to address," said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. "This opinion will now allow businesses to hire based on performance, restoring equal opportunities in the American workplace."

Read our latest report, AccreditED, which documents how the ABA has used its monopoly power to embed DEI mandates throughout legal education, shaping who is admitted, who is hired, and what future lawyers are taught to believe.

Yesterday, @DefendingEd convened Republican Congressmen, law students, & staffers on Capitol Hill to identify the path toward reforming higher education.
What we learned: the path runs directly through accreditation, & public enemy no. 1 is the American Bar Association.

Yesterday House Education & Workforce Committee chaired by @RepWalberg held a hearing on the pernicious creep of liberal orthodoxy in public ed & questioned the Sups of Loudon, San Fran, & Chicago schools.
I wrote on it for @DefendingEd@realDailyWiredailywire.com/news/on-capito…
SCOTUS opinions tomorrow!
Among the 23 remaining are the marquee women's sports cases: Little v. Hecox (consolidated with) West Virginia v. BPJ.
Questions: do women's sports protection laws violate Title IX or the Equal Protection Clause?
Some thoughts on likely outcomes🧵
Predicted dissent: Jackson.
Because she couldn't confirm the definition of a "woman" in her confirmation hearing and has written dissents so off the wall of late that even Kagan & Sotomayor ae backing away.
Predicted impact:
A new round of litigation shifting to questions of implementation (eligibility verification, locker room and facility policies, and whether the logic extends beyond sports).
End 🧵
"The @USEEOC is grateful for the thoughtful and insightful analysis provided by Assistant Attorney General @ElliotGaiser and Deputy Assistant Attorney General @joshjcraddock regarding disparate impact under Title VII," EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas said. "We believe this opinion will provide clarity regarding the Constitutional limits of disparate impact in employment discrimination matters."

Loudon County Public Schools superintendent Aaron Spence doesn't understand 2 things:
1. Transgender "women" are men play-acting at womanhood
2. Title IX was passed to prevent sex discrimination in education & give girls equal access
A 🔥line of questioning from @RepBobOnder
In April 2024 the Biden Administration released its rule on Title IX, decimating free speech, due process, & equality for female students.
Now that 11 federal lawsuits-including ours-have ended, it's time for the rule to go.
Today @DefendingEd requested the admin rescind it.
A must listen from @ryanlbangert on the SPLC’s ongoing grift & the manufacture of “hate” to drive profitability when the culture has long since given up their fictitious PR scam.
The @splcenter should be stripped of its tax exempt status.
🔥Hot off the presses: @TheJusticeDept issued an opinion today explaining that disparate-impact liability under federal employment law is *unconstitutional*. This is an earthquake in federal civil rights law. If right, this is the foundation to overturn that pernicious regime.
- Fox Varian $2M med mal verdict.
- Texas Children’s Hospital closing its gender clinic, opens 1st detransition clinic.
- Now 315 medical facilities drop HRC's trans "equity index."
The war to protect biological sex is far from over, but now, we're winning battles
