A Los Angeles judge ruled Friday that California’s landmark law mandating that corporations diversify their boards with members from certain racial, ethnic or LGBT groups is unconstitutional.
The measure requires publicly traded corporate boards to have a member from an “underrepresented community,” including LGBT, Black, Latino, Asian, Native American or Pacific Islander.
Judicial Watch filed a permanent injunction to stop the law. In the complaint, it was argued that corporate diversity laws violate the Equal Protection Clause.
To recap – you can’t choose or refuse to hire someone on the basis of their race, ethnicity, gender or sexuality.
It’s possible to imagine it.
The decision “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 in a statement.
