Texas Judge Reed O'Connor Rules Nonprofit Grant Program Discriminatory, Edward Blum Wins

A US judge in Texas has ruled that a nonprofit grant program for small businesses in the state is discriminatory because it favors businesses owned by minorities, women, and LGBTQ people. This decision marks the latest legal victory for affirmative action critic Edward Blum. The legal advocacy group led by Blum successfully blocked the Texas nonprofit from issuing grants due to what they termed 'racially discriminatory practices.' Founders First, the nonprofit in question, stated that it only asks applicants for their race to track the demographics of grant recipients. US District Judge Reed O'Connor in Fort Worth, Texas, issued the ruling.
