Challenged anti-discrimination rule on sexual orientation

Georgia's Chris Carr joined more than 20 other Republican attorneys general in filing a lawsuit Tuesday against President Joe Biden's administration over a Department of Agriculture school meal program that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The challenge, led by Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery, claims that the federal government is attempting to force states and schools to follow antidiscrimination requirements that "misconstrue the law."

Costco should end Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies

We, the undersigned Attorneys General of 19 States, urge Costco to end all unlawful discrimination imposed by the company through diversity, equity, and inclusion ("DEI") policies. Although Costco's motto is "do the right thing," it appears that the company is doing the wrong thing--clinging to DEI policies that courts and businesses have rejected as illegal.

Costco should treat every person equally and based on their merit, rather than based on divisive and discriminatory DEI practices. That reflects President Trump's executive order encouraging "the Private Sector to End Illegal DEI discrimination and Preferences."

Companies renouncing DEI include Amazon, Ford, John Deere, McDonald's, Meta, and Walmart. Inexplicably, Costco has doubled down on DEI. Costco's position runs contrary to the Supreme Court's recent decisions and raises concerns about Costco's compliance with State & federal laws. Costco should "do the right thing" by following the law and repealing its DEI policies.
