BREAKING: US Justice Department Rules NC's HB2 Violates Civil Rights Act

[LebaneseDude 6,146]

From the Charlotte Observer:

U.S. Justice Department officials Wednesday notified Gov. Pat McCrory that House Bill 2 violates the U.S. Civil Rights Act.

The department gave state officials until Monday to address the situation “by confirming that the State will not comply with or implement HB2.”

The letter says HB2, which pre-empted Charlotte’s anti-discrimination ordinance, violates Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination in education based on sex.

If that determination is upheld, North Carolina could lose millions in federal school funding. During the current school year, state public schools received $861 million in federal funding.

In the letter, Valita Gupta, principal deputy assistant attorney general, said, “The Department of Justice has determined that, as a result of compliance with and implementation of NC House Bill2, both you and the state of NC are in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 0f 1964…

“Title VII prohibits an employer from discriminating against an individual on the basis of sex and from otherwise resisting the full enjoyment of Title VII rights….

“Federal courts and administrative agencies have applied Title VII to discrimination against transgender individuals based on sex, including gender identity….”

Like that'll stop them

The Supreme Court ruled banning same sex marriage is unconstitutional yet some states are still fighting it or ignoring it entirely. This is great, though

Hopefully it will, if the article is to believed the state will be forced to throw out the law by Monday or just not enforce it

Good, now rule their lives unconstitutional and publicly execute them

Just to clarify, I'm not serious

Well, not really.. Yes, they're trying to get around it, but they can't ignore it. If they did, and didn't follow the rulings, they'd be arrested.

That's great! It's nice to see that slowly, but surely we are turning into a more progressive and accepting nation. Hopefully one day this will all be something of the past and we can move forward towards a better future.

There's this myth that they tend to be cleaner. It's a lie.
