California had a racist law that was passed as a diversity law. This law told Corporations that they had to pick from a group of people qualified or not to serve on the corporate board. Well the courts stepped in.
LOS ANGELES -- A Los Angeles judge ruled Friday that California's landmark law mandating that corporations diversify their boards with members from certain racial, ethnic or LGBTQ+ groups is unconstitutional. The measure requires corporate boards of publicly traded companies with a main executive office in California to have a member from an "underrepresented community," including LGBTQ+, Black, Latino, Asian, Native American or Pacific Islander.
"This historic California court decision declared unconstitutional one of the most blatant and significant attacks in the modern era on constitutional prohibitions against discrimination," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton who brought the lawsuit.
