Existing civil rights laws are the ones that will force integration. I think you’re conflating a conservative newscycle view of what happens in some universities with the supporting legality. That article doesn’t address safe spaces, it touches on a notion of privileging speech of a victim class at the expense of a different class and says thats rooted in the civil rights act. It says everything you want to be afraid of but I think its operating in a very distorted realm and should also hire its own lawyers and see what view federal court actually hold.

The evidence the essay provides is compelling to me. This follow up article provides yet more evidence, including a recent $100 million + judgement against Tesla under Civil Rights Law:

Anti-discrimination lawyers are licking their lips at the prospect of sueing SpaceX next, this time for sexual harassment:

The explanation provided by the essays is coherent and resonates with I have seen.

The Civil Rights Act made it illegal to use IQ tests to hire applicants. It is totalitarian in nature and needs to be scaled back to enable a free society where a sanctimonious elite is not using the force of the state to reshape private citizens.

Unappealed lawsuits and enforcement actions by employees and government agencies does not say thats the law.

Take it to federal court, then take it to federal appeals court. If the 9th circuit doesn’t match conservative land, do the same in another circuit.

You’re playing the helpless victim while having way more resources than the “protected classes” that you feel are oppressing your way of life, all because you (and the organizations that didnt appeal) are afraid of the PR. The protected classes dealt with way more than “potentially bad PR” to create this reality so just take the L and get the courts to correct it.

It's not the rich corporations vs the "protected classes". It's the rich corporations vs the civil rights institutions, which includes much of the legal profession, deep-pocketed and well-connected law firms and powerful government agencies, with indefinite taxpayer support to fund their activity.

The wokification of US law was established by the Civil Rights Act. As far back as the 1970s, the Supreme Court ruled that using IQ tests to vet job applicants is a form of prohibited discrimination under the CRA.
