California's pro-discrimination diversity mandate is unsurprisingly found unconstitutional

California thought discrimination in hiring was necessary for “diversity.” Unsurprisingly, the state’s law requiring such discrimination was deemed unconstitutional.

California Democrats have been on the mandatory diversity kick for some time now. In 2020, the state passed a law requiring publicly traded companies headquartered in California to have one board member from a state-approved list of minorities, with some boards being required to have two or three.
