“Natural origin discrimination”... a Federal offense.

Insanity!

But creatively so.

I expect we’ll have to put up with this for less than another 60 days.

Just another thing to be reversed once Trump gets in office.
Just eliminating all the stupid rules promulgated by the Just Us Dept. is going to take weeks.

Trump can overturn that in less than 50 days.

I’m just saying . . .

People have the natural right to freedom of association. Whether or not being racist makes someone an a-hole is a different question than whether free individuals have an inherent right to be a-holes if that is their choice.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 needs to be revisited, because it grossly overstepped the boundaries of government power by prohibiting individual action.

Laws against racism and discrimination should be exclusively about limiting government power to discriminate and/and or force segregation with regard to the government policies, law enforcement, government institutions and facilities. The injustices of the Jim Crow era were legally enforced by the government, and the Jim Crow era laws needed to be eliminated.

But free individuals have a right to choose with whom they will or will not associate. If society wants to impose sanctions on racist a-holes, that’s fine, as long as it’s done socially (i.e. boycotts and shunning) and not legally.

Much of the government over reach we have seen in the past 50 years is due to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 being commandeered by the left to limit the rights of the people relating to pretty much all private activity, instead of being limited to curtailing the powers of the government.

If black people want to live exclusively with black people at private colleges, that is their right if the college chooses to adopt that policy. But that same right also must be recognized for all other races and ethnic groups as well.

And hopefully get some relief for school districts expected to bend over to accommodate 80-some languages or dialects. I can’t even begin to imagine how much that harms and steals assets from American, English-speaking kids.

He will. It’s A New Day in America. And THIS time, it’s going to STICK! :)

Not EOs, if I read the article correctly, but regulations from the EEOC.

I wonder if they went through the “notice and comment procedure” that is specified under the APA (Administrative Procedures Act), or were constructed out of whole cloth as “guidance.”

They aren’t EOs, although clearly driven from the top. Technically, the repeal process might be more involved. What Trump needs to do is a major purge of the leftist infection of our government. I don’t know if he can pull it off. What stopped GWB from reversing some of the rot injected by the Clintons? Sloth? Or did he somewhat approve? Or is it very difficult?

I was working at one of my accounts, and a lady asked me something in spanish. I calmly stated, in English, that I don’t speak spanish. She walked away.

I believe you’re correct.

It may not be easy but President Trump with a Republican Congress should be able to work together and overcome these ridiculous rules.

What we must have is a National Language Law for the purposes of our government functioning.

If you look around the world, many nations have a National Language due to the many languages spoken within their borders. For the operations of government - judiciary, military, MSM, transportation, business - having a single language is sensible.

Spanish and Portugal are used as National Languages in Central and South America due to the native languages being so prevalent.

It is also very economical to have a National Language rather than the government paying for interpreters or the printing demands of a tiny group of linguistic minorities.

This looks like yet something else for Trump to repeal in 50 days.

You’re right. Trump would have to make invalid all new regulations prior to.. (select date)... by EO.

Similarly, burning the rainbow flag is a hate crime and burning the US flag is constitutionally protected free speech.

It’s mind-blowing that it is the official policy of the government of the United States to favor foreigners over Americans at American businesses.

The intent is genocide. It can no longer be reasonably denied that this is so.

If the “Republican” Congress knows what’s good for it, it will.
