"No area of American life...has not been adversely affected by the anti-discrimination regime"

**Cross-posted from General Discussion**

That's Craig Trainor, a Trump appointee.

He is writing about one of our country's best laws, the Civil Rights Act!

No, Craig isn't a big fan of civil rights.

Yet Craig is Trump's Assistant Secretary of Civil Rights at the Education Department - he's the guy trying to withhold federal funds from colleges that won't ban DEI and anything else related to civil rights and diversity.

Come learn more! Our post about Craig just went live!

for the ChristoFascists since 1965 has been Black Americans.

No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Remember the Fearless Fund? That was just a beginning.

If I'm going to be a second class citizen then I should only have to pay $10 in taxes year.

The Voting Rights Act became law.

We need to defend it - and the Civil Rights Act and all civil rights law - from guys like Craig...
