California Supreme Court blocks diversity quotas

 DC Examiner:

On Tuesday, the California Court of Appeals upheld two injunctions against the state of California that forced corporate boards to establish diversity quotas for board members.

In recent years California has passed legislation that has mandated that company boards establish diversity quotas. In 2018, the California legislature declared that they want to see “more women directors serving on boards of directors of publicly held corporations.”

The law forced corporations to have a slot on corporate boards for someone “who self-identifies her gender as a woman,” according to The Daily Caller.

At the time, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) enthusiastically signed them into law stating: “Today’s actions build on the Newsom Administration’s work to acknowledge historic wrongs and combat structural racism and bias in our institutions.”

The legislation, however, has now been struck down thanks to the effort of the conservative legal group Judicial Watch.
