Unanimous SCOTUS Opens the Floodgates For Lawsuits Over DEI Policies Sue their rights violating asses off. Make the bigoted bastards pay. SCOTUS 9-0 Ruling. 'A female police officer was transferred from one department to another because of her sex. The transfer violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which forbids “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin” discrimination with respect to employment “compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges.”' She initially lost in Court because the lower court said that she wasn't harmed enough to sue. SCOTUS fundamentally disagreed. 'A unanimous Supreme Court reversed, holding that any harm—whether significant or insignificant—satisfies Title VII.' This is great great news. How clear do we have to make it Americans are not be subjected these kinds of discrimination and rights violations? Nothing brings clarity quite like writing $Million checks for violating the rights of others. 'Title VII applies to all compensation, terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. If you have been fired, transferred, denied a bonus, or forced to attend (or excluded from) a training program, mentorship program, or retreat, on the basis of your race, sex, or religion, you can sue.' And by all means, do bring the suit. And don't be stingy. These big entities that are rights violators learn little from 6 figure judgements. Justice Kagan wrote for the Majority. 'As Justice Brett Kavanaugh explained in his concurring opinion, if there’s no floor on the amount of harm you must suffer, then the harm requirement is satisfied by any change in “money, time, satisfaction, schedule, convenience, commuting costs or time, prestige, status, career prospects, interest level, perks, professional relationships, networking opportunities, effects on family obligations, or the like.”' 'The ruling applies to many corporate DEI programs. It’s fashionable for corporate employers to create race- and sex-based employment conditions and privileges as part of their DEI initiatives. For example, Novant Health fired a white male executive in order to replace him with two women—one black, the other white. And Starbucks fired a former manager because she was white.' 'LinkedIn’s “employee resource groups” and mentoring and training programs for “systemically marginalized” groups are representative examples. LinkedIn gives employees access to official programs organized on race and sex lines and creates special mentorships for members of certain groups. These are all “privileges of employment” under Title VII. LinkedIn also provides the leaders of these groups special pay on top of their salaries, which is “compensation” under Title VII.' Not in America. Many more examples at the link. Please read the whole thing and discuss.
