“fighting against equity discrimination is the civil rights issue of our time”
“There is no future for this country in a system where you discriminate against people in order to get even, or to take retribution on other people…. Don’t give up the country to this pernicious ideology.”
The launch of the Equal Protection Project has generated significant media attention, including an article today at Fox News Digital.
Here are excerpts from the article Anti-CRT figure fights back against equity discrimination: ‘It’s the civil rights issue of our time’, head to the link for the whole thing::
The founder of Equal Protection Project (EPP), a new initiative to battle racial discrimination in the workplace, believes “fighting against equity discrimination is the civil rights issue of our time” and is intent on doing something about it….
“In many ways, forming and launching The Equal Protection Project was an outgrowth of the other work we’ve done tracking and monitoring what’s happening with the critical race theory in the United States, how it has spread, how concepts based on critical race theory have racialized almost everything in our society,” Jacobson told Fox News Digital.
“Diversity, equity and inclusion sound very nice. They’re very flowery terms, but particularly the equity part, we’re now seeing reports of outright discrimination against White applicants, White students, others based on race,” Jacobson continued. “And that goes against everything that we stand for. We are against racial discrimination regardless of who it is targeting.”
A specific incident that caused the project to come to fruition occurred in Providence, R.I., where the Providence Public School District allegedly engaged in civil rights violations with a racially discriminatory program. Jacobson said the school district is offering a teacher loan forgiveness program, but only non-White teachers can apply.
“It’s not a nod and a wink, they are just open about it, and they don’t seem to care that it is racially discriminatory,” Jacobson said. “We have filed a complaint, which is now with the [Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] about that, and we’ve publicized it, and they still don’t care.”
… The project has launched a network of lawyers who can sign up to offer expertise, and over 100 attorneys have registered since EPP was launched last week.
“More racism is never the answer to racism. Fighting racism is the answer. Less racism is the answer. But we do not agree that you can remedy past racism, or even if you can show current racism by discriminating against a new group,” Jacobson said.
Jacobson, who first announced the Equal Protection Project last week on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” doesn’t want to see the nation take a step backwards.
“It’s the civil rights issue of our time, not only because there are people being discriminated against on the basis of race. That would be bad enough. But it goes to the issue of who we are going to be as a society,” he said.
“Are we going to go back to the 1940s and 1950s, but substitute one racial group as the target rather than another? And I don’t believe, and we don’t believe that is where we should be heading,” Jacobson said. “So equity discrimination, discriminating against people on the basis of race to achieve some sort of equal outcome really takes us back to the 1950s. And we don’t want to go there. We’ve made tremendous progress.” …
“There is no future for this country in a system where you discriminate against people in order to get even, or to take retribution on other people. That’s not the answer to society,” Jacobson said. “Don’t give up the country to this pernicious ideology.”

More racism is never the answer to racism. Fighting racism is the answer. Less racism is the answer, but we do not agree that you can remedy past racism or even if you can show current racism by discriminating against a new group.
The Equal Protection Project, which is equal protect.org, is a new project of the Legal Insurrection Foundation. I am the founder of the Legal Insurrection Foundation. We’re best known for our legal insurrection website, as well as critical race.org. And in many ways, forming and launching the Equal Protection Project was an outgrowth of the other work we’ve done. Tracking and monitoring what’s happening with critical race theory in the United States, how it has spread, how concepts based on critical race theory have racialized almost everything in our society. What we began to notice, because we get a lot of tips at criticalrace.org, is outright discrimination in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
So diversity, equity and inclusion sound very nice. They’re very flowery terms, but particularly the equity part, we’re now seeing reports of outright discrimination against white applicants, white students, others based on race. And that goes against everything that we stand for. We are against racial discrimination regardless of who it is targeting. But the fact that it is so becoming so pervasive now and so open and unapologetic, that it was really troubling fighting against equity.
Discrimination is the civil rights issue of our time. It’s the civil rights issue of our time not only because there are people being discriminated against on the basis of race, that would be bad enough, but it goes to the issue of who we are going to be as a society. Are we going to go back to the 1940s and 1950s, but substitute one racial group as the target rather than another.
And I don’t believe, and we don’t believe, that that is where we should be heading. So equity discrimination, discriminating against people on the basis of race to achieve some sort of equal outcome, really takes us back to the 1950s and we don’t want to go there. We’ve made tremendous progress. Our country is not, as some people claim systemically racist. In fact, we are systemically not racist. People have to fight back.
There is no future for this country in a system where you discriminate against people in order to get even or to take retribution on other people. That’s not the answer to society. So don’t give up hope. We are going fight this, we’re going to organize against it. There are other groups doing it also. I think we’re the only one actually specifically focused on it. But don’t give up hope. Keep fighting. Don’t give up the country to this pernicious ideology.

Olympia School District is now having to close some of its schools ironically well after COVID, because enrollment dropped to 2013 levels. Note this is only after not COVID, but following the June where they forced LGBTAQ sexuality to K-12- with no opt out.
There has to be a case for a class action lawsuit here. They have deliberately disenfranchised conservatives.
If this were ANY other demographic, lawsuits would be coming in by the truck load.
LA has the same problem. It’s a feature, not a bug. Parents who love their children will see to it that they have schooling. They are opting for home-schooling and shared home-schooling. They’d rather spend their money on their kids than on lawsuits.
The thing is, California judges don’t have a bad record with respect to Constitutional rights. These cases would be winnable.
I work for Alstom a large international corporation with an open equity agenda.
With 10 years of excellence and a college degree working on a large train site, I was passed on a manager position for a female with 4 years experience from a train site with two trains and two stations…. The only explanation I can wrap my head around is equity hire.
I had a real, live, honest-to-God sexual harassment lawsuit available to me when the EEOC was looking for them. I did not document it. Instead, I started looking. I took my own sweet time doing it (6 months), but I found one with a better title and more money. And when it came time for the exit interviews, I told them, “I am leaving for a better job. But, the reason I started looking was because of that so-and-so.”
You can do the same. Selections for job openings should be based on qualification and capability. You can tell them “I left for a better job, and for more money. But I started looking because promoting less capable people based on discrimination is bad for business and speaks poorly for the company future. I want to work for a company where competence is valued.”
It isn’t just a fight, it’s a war. Something conservatives have never done well. This war must be fought and won and it will not be done so ‘conservatively’.
This pernicious ideology will hurt us all, especially Jews, Asians, and whites.
It’s ludicrous to expect equal outcomes for different groups in all professions and jobs.
If you were to take white people in America and categorize them into distinct ancestral groups (by ancestral nationality, e.g. British, German, Italian, Polish, etc., or more generally, such as Scandinavian, Slavic, etc.) you would not find any profession, skilled trade, or any type of career or job, which would reveal near perfect representation.
For example, using made up numbers, let’s say 20% of white Americans are mostly of German descent, while 18% are British, 12% Italian, and 5% of primarily Polish descent.
If we were to then ascertain that 10% of white doctors were of German descent, 2% Polish, 25% Italian, and 40% British … we’d have a HUUUGE problem on her hands according to this insane dogma. Some groups would be vastly overrepresented and others underrepresented.
The same would occur with plumbers, CEOs, police officers, lawyers, etc.
Why isn’t any prominent conservative pursuing these statistics to point out the inherent nuttiness of “equity”?
If Italian Americans are disproportionately overrepresented or underrepresented in a career field, the argument would have to be that the former would be the result of privilege and the latter the result of discrimination, from other white groups.
Equity activists should be forced to answer why there are disparities between different groups of whites. Make them try to explain their b.s.
Without question, it is indeed imperative to build the network of attorneys and get busy filing cases.
It is also critical to start advertising and marketing: “have you been discriminated against based on race, ethnicity or gender? If so, call the Equal Protection Project’s lawyers’ network for a free consultation.”

The Marxists are working ever more rapidly to turn what was once the greatest bastion of freedom the world has ever seen, into the latest communist triumph. There has long been “equity” among the citizens of communist nations. Most of them all have the same equity………”nothing”?
Will we be next?
