Judge Rules Minority Business Program Must Serve All Races

A federal judge has ruled that the Biden administration's Minority Business Development Agency violated the Constitution's equal protection guarantees by favoring minority business enterprises over white small business owners. The ruling likened the agency's use of race-based criteria to discriminatory actions of the past and granted a permanent injunction against awarding benefits based on race. The lawsuit was filed by entrepreneurs who were denied assistance due to their race, and the judge's decision marks a significant victory against the discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda.
