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.

Judge Orders Minority Business Agency to Serve All Races

A federal judge in Texas ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) discriminated against white business owners and must now serve all business owners, regardless of race. The judge's decision challenges the agency's mission to help disadvantaged businesses owned by racial and ethnic groups, potentially impacting other government efforts that cater to historically disadvantaged groups. This ruling is part of a broader legal battle over diversity, equity, and inclusion, and is likely to fuel a conservative movement against affirmative action in both public and private sectors.

Federal Judge Orders Minority Business Agency to Serve All Races

A federal judge in Texas ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency must offer its services to people of all races and ethnic groups, not just minority-owned businesses, after two white business owners sued the agency for discrimination. The judge found that the agency's practice violated the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law and permanently barred it from serving only members of minority groups. This ruling is part of a trend of court decisions eroding federal affirmative-action mandates, including a Supreme Court ruling last June that affected race-conscious college admissions programs.

"Federal Judge Orders Minority Business Agency to Serve All Races"

A judge in Texas has ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency, established to assist minority-owned businesses, must open its services to all races and ethnicities, including white people. The ruling came after three white business owners claimed they were discriminated against by the agency. The judge argued that while the agency aimed to reverse discrimination against people of color, it in turn discriminated against white individuals, violating the Fifth Amendment's equal protection guarantees.

Federal Judge Orders Minority Business Agency to Provide Assistance to All Races

A federal judge in Texas ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) must provide assistance to all individuals, regardless of race, after White business owners claimed its policies were unconstitutional. The judge found that the agency's reliance on a statutory presumption of social or economic disadvantage based on race violated the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. The ruling permanently bars the agency from considering race in determining assistance eligibility, impacting its services for minority-owned businesses. This decision follows a trend of conservative challenges to federal programs in Texas federal courts.
