Challenged anti-discrimination rule on sexual orientation

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

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.
