After the Trump Justice Department sued Yale following the results of a 2-year Civil Rights investigation which found “long-standing and ongoing” race-based discrimination, the Biden DOJ just dismissed the case without explanation. In October 2020, Yale was sued by the US after a 2-year Civil Rights investigation revealed “long-standing and ongoing” race-based discrimination.

Sara Thornton, head of Britain’s National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), has said the law should be changed so forces can actively discriminate against white recruits in order to increase diversity. Currently, discriminating against people in job recruitment on the basis of certain “protected characteristics”, including race, sex, and sexuality, is technically illegal under the Equality Act of 2010. However, excluding certain people — generally white people, or at least white males — from supposed internships, even if they pay more than a typical working-class job, or deprioritising them from training schemes or workshops designed to boost employment prospects, is...

While all sound-minded Americans await the start of college football season and the NFL, to tide us over, we are soon to have the awesome American pleasure of the Little League World Series (LLWS) to enjoy. The U.S. regionals—which determine the eight American teams (in addition to the eight international teams) in the LLWS—are complete. Today, August 17, the tournament to determine the 71st LLWS champion begins. Noticeably absent again this year: girls. Someone should write a memo. In 1974—of course, thanks to a ruling from a female judge—the Little League Federal Charter was amended to allow girls to play...

NEW YORK – US Defense Department spokesman Mark Wright told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday that security clearance could be denied to an applicant with relatives in any foreign country. “If a security-clearance applicant has relatives or other close connections to people in any foreign country, this could potentially disqualify that person from being eligible for a security clearance,” he said. But, he added, “The Federal Adjudicative Guidelines do not call for any special scrutiny for applicants with relatives in Israel.” Wright spoke on Thursday in response to the recent protest by Jewish organizations against the US Navy’s denial of...

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama’s college reform plan, released by the White House on Thursday, would encourage colleges to discriminate against applicants who come from families with total incomes of $60,000 or more by awarding colleges higher federal ratings and increased federal aid for admitting a higher “percentage” of students who receive federal Pell Grants, which the Department of Education says are for "low-income" students. According to a study by the Congressional Research Service, in the 2007-2008 school year, only 2.3 percent of undergraduates who were still dependent on their parents, and whose total family income was $60,000 or more,...

In wake of Tuesday’s decision by police officials in charge of the Temple Mount to ban non-Muslims entrance to the holy site, some two hundred protesters stood Wednesday morning at the foot of the Mugrabi entrance seeking to reverse their exclusion. The mass protest was prearranged following an announcement by Police Commander Avi Bitton that the Temple Mount will remain closed to Jews and tourists at least until after the end of Ramadan’s closing festival of “Eid” which is to be next Sunday, the 11th of August. video .....

It is time for conservatives to reclaim and rehabilitate the word "discriminate," particularly when it comes to homosexual behavior. The left has twisted this word to create the utterly false impression that discrimination of any kind at any time for any reason is by definition wrong and immoral. Of course, leftists are oblivious to the reality that they, these self-described paragons of tolerance, routinely discriminate against people of Christian faith, by refusing them permission to pray in public, by fining them for declining to photograph lesbian commitment ceremonies, by throwing them out of graduate programs in counseling, or by suing...

President Obama's American Jobs Act, which he presented to Congress on Monday, would make it illegal for employers to run advertisements saying that they will not consider unemployed workers, or to refuse to consider or hire people because they are unemployed. The proposed language is found in a section of the bill titled "Prohibition of Discrimination in Employment on the Basis of an Individual's Status as Unemployed." That section would also make it illegal for employers to request that employment agencies take into account a person's unemployed status. It would also allow aggrieved job-seekers to seek damages if they have...

Would Obamacare Discriminate?June 18, 2009 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Bob in Auburn, Massachusetts, nice to have you with us here on Open Line Friday on Thursday. Hi. CALLER: Rush, glad to get to talk to you. Big fan. RUSH: Thank you. CALLER: Big, big fan. You know, I want to run the health care thing by you. I think people are missing the whole point here and maybe you're not, because I try to listen as much as I can but sometimes I don't. Obama really doesn't care about health care at all. He doesn't care if it costs $10 trillion....

As is often the case these days, offensive language or behavior is in the eye of the beholder. It depends on whether one subscribes to old school or new-age definitions of words that have been around for centuries. This word discrimination used to be a compliment of sorts, as in “one has discriminating tastes” based on the old school definition “To make a clear distinction; distinguish: discriminate among the options available. To make sensible decisions; judge wisely.” Of course the new-age definition is much less flattering, “to treat one person or group worse than others or better than others, usually...

By Claudia Pinto / Charlottesville Daily Progress February 11, 2005 ----------------------- Two pizza delivery chains refused to send drivers to a public housing community Thursday afternoon, shocking and angering members of the AIDS/HIV Services Group and the president of the local NAACP. Kathy Baker, ASG’s executive director, said that when Domino’s and Papa John’s were called to deliver to an HIV testing event at Westhaven public housing community, the businesses responded that they don’t deliver to Hardy Drive. Managers from Domino’s and Papa John’s said they don’t deliver to certain areas of the city out of concern for their drivers’...

I wasn't the least bit surprised by the Supreme Court's split decisions to allow the University of Michigan to continue legally discriminating against whites for admission to its law school while barring the school from doing so for undergraduate admissions. I'm not sure why anyone else (especially those who fashion themselves as Court watchers) should be either. Long ago I came to the realization that the Supreme Court — like most of our nation's courts — has very little respect for the U.S. Constitution or the values, principles and will of the American people as expressed by many of the...

SACRAMENTO — With no votes to spare, the Assembly passed a bill Monday to make it illegal for landlords and employers to discriminate against people who have changed their gender or whose gender is not exclusively male or female. AB 196 by Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) passed after a lengthy debate in which Democrats argued that the bill was about basic civil rights, and Republicans attacked it as a "job-killer" that would drive California employers out of state. If the bill passes the Senate as expected and is signed by the governor, it will make California the fourth state...
