Ninth Circuit Allows Lawsuit Against Seattle Race and Social Justice Initiative

US Politics22 days ago

A legal challenge to the city's attempt to curb racial disparity can now proceed after a federal appeals panel rejected an effort to block it. Chief Judge Murguia and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a white man has the legal right to sue Seattle over diversity and equity policies he claims are racially hostile.

The disputed policies are part of the Race and Social Justice Initiative, and the decision was issued by a panel composed entirely of judges appointed by Democrats. Robin DiAngelo co-designed the original antiracism trainings used by the city for the program.
