"Supreme Court's Impact on Civil Rights and HR: A Tactical Overview"

In the Muldrow v. St. Louis case, the Supreme Court delivered a significant victory for civil rights by unanimously siding with Jatonya Muldrow, a police officer who argued she was discriminated against on the basis of sex when she was transferred to a less active job. Justice Elena Kagan wrote a strong opinion, maintaining the harm requirement for Title VII claims, which prevented the case from being used to attack diversity initiatives and DEI training. The decision narrowly avoided the risk of being used to combat workplace diversity and secured a meaningful victory for the left, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh being the only dissenting voice.
