Asheville, North Carolina stops race-based scholarship and grant in Judicial Watch lawsuit settlement

The City Council resolved the lawsuit Tuesday by voting to prohibit discrimination based on "race, natural hair or hairstyles, ethnicity, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin or ancestry, marital or familiar status, pregnancy, veteran status, religious belief or non-belief, age or disability."

The racial requirements were also removed from a grant for Asheville educators and school faculty.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said … "This federal lawsuit and the resulting remarkable settlement should serve as a wakeup call to those activists and allied politicians pushing the extremist leftist agenda to segregate and discriminate based on race."
